Chatswoof: 25-foot-high sculpture of a dog part of new exhibition at Chatsworth House
A 25-foot-high scaffolding sculpture of a dog is part of a new exhibition at Chatsworth House.
The 2019 exhibition has been launched by The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire at the stately home in Derbyshire this week.
'The Dog: A Celebration', is the expression of love from Amanda Cavendish, 75, the wife of the 12th Duke of Devonshire, Peregrine Cavendish, 74. It explores the Cavendish family’s enduring admiration for dogs, through paintings, drawings, sculpture, letters, photographs and contemporary art.
Aside from the scaffolding sculpture by artist Ben Long, a Red Cross collar worn by a dog that was trained to find dead and wounded soldiers during World War I has also gone on display.
Rescue dogs Treacle and Max joined the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire to celebrate the opening of Chatswoof this week.
