101 FRENCH BULLDOGS SEEKING FOR A NEW HOME

Jiri Kaifosz (*1954, www.kaifosz.cz) is a well known, although not hugely medialized, modern sculptor and painter, often exhibiting both in the Czech Republic and abroad. He created a very unique object few years ago: a pack of 101 clay French bulldogs (later the pack was even enlarged) installed to the shape of the Czech flag. Frenchies are of life-size, each of them differs from the others, each of them is an original. The whole pack is now shown, together with other sculptures and paintings of J. Kaifosz, in The Gallery of One Thing in Prague. After years of common life, Mr. Kaifosz took a radical decision by occasion of current exposition: to dismiss the pack! This is a unique opportunity for all French bulldog lovers, breeders and collectors. 101 fantastic Frenchies are seeking for a new home!

The pack shoves off. They look better than in closed shape of flag. Somewhat realistic, exaggerated enough, not standard at all. Living Frenchies. You know them from home.

Despite originally aimed French bulldog happening was refrained after all, two courageous Frenchies came to say hello to their clay comrades. Thanks!
