Dog Bowl (sculpture)

Dog Bowl is a 2002 outdoor sculpture by dog photographer William Wegman, located in the North Park Blocks in Portland, Oregon, United States.

[1][2][3][4] Wegman had been "cultivated" and privately funded by the Pearl Arts Foundation to create a work for Portland.

[3][5] The installation features a cast-bronze dog bowl set on an 8-foot (2.4 m) x 10-foot (3.0 m) checkerboard that is reminiscent of a linoleum kitchen floor.

Most of the squares are black and white granite tiles, but four are artificial turf.

The bowl was designed to be reminiscent of the Benson Bubbler drinking fountains installed throughout the city and is supplied by an underground water source.
