Lot 1082
The Pug Installation by Brigid Berlin
Comprising a painted wood three-tier wall shelf and approximately seventy figures of pugs in various materials including porcelain. Height overall 27 inches, width 38 inches; Together with Brigid Berlin's Installation Photographs.

A highly creative but also fastidious person, this was Ms. Berlin's pride and joy. She particularly loved this collection and group of pugs, which took her years to collect and curate. She says in Pie in the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story: "I don't understand how anyone can be disorganized. I don't have a thread of disorganization within me. I keep photographs in the drawer of how the pug shelf should be because I get up there once a year to clean that. Nobody else is allowed to clean them."
