Meet the Dog That Is Taking the Art World by Storm

There are some occasions, though, where even a dog as special as Pickle needs to be kept on leash. Howard says that Pickle tends to gravitate toward pieces of art that resemble her toys. “I’d have to keep on leash if we were ever to go to a Mike Kelley show!” she says, noting Kelley’s exhibit at MoMA PS1 which features multicolored plush toys suspended temptingly from the ceiling. Other than that, Pickle enjoys sculptures, or pieces that are set low on the ground that she can walk up to and sniff. Once she picks a piece, she’ll very obligingly sit and pose, “back up a little” or “move over please” as directed by Howard.
