The Wolves Of Cai Guo-Qiang

The pack of 99 wolves (stuffed and life-like) of the Chinese artist has beset the halls of Guggenheim Bilbao in what seems half way between art and naturalist investigation. Cai Guo-Qiang is one of the emerging artist in the International art market, and an individual obsessed by the cosmology. He was responsible for the extraordinary collections of artificial fireworks if the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Pekin.

His presence in Bilbao followed his appearance and exhibition in Guggenheim in New York, where he staged, like he does now at the shore of Nervion, his interminable installations with wolves, with automobiles and with fireworks. It's the artistic explosion of an artist, lover of stars, fire ... and Picasso.
