Description
Whimsical, bold, and absolutely unforgettable. This large-scale paper mâché sculpture titled "Super Dog" was created and signed by artist Kathe Fraga in 2001. A playful interpretation of a heroic hound, this sculptural bust features a proud golden retriever donning a hand-painted Superman-style costume in red, blue, and gold. With crossed arms and a noble gaze, Super Dog brings instant personality and a touch of humor to any space.
The lightweight form is supported by a weighted interior mount and stands tall on a classic turned metal base. Ideal for collectors of folk art, dog lovers, or anyone with a taste for the offbeat and theatrical. A standout decorative piece that is equal parts art and conversation starter.
