Artist Installs '2 Dogs 2' Outside Montclair Library

Artist Bayard will give Montclair its answer to the New York Public Library’s lions, Patience and Fortitude, on Friday.

The artist will install "2 Dogs 2", two nylon dog sculptures, on the lawn of the Montclair Public Library, 50 South Fullerton Ave., for one day only.

The dogs, “FU” and “Big Fat Dog Sleeping on Her Belly”, will be on view outside the library starting at noon and throughout the day through Friday night’s Art Walk.

The installation is part of the exhibition Jersey Fresh, curated by Diana Stewart, and featuring works by Dan Peyton, Annie Avigdor, Kathleen Heron, Mochi, Anna Ryabtsov, Sandra Duguid and Henry Gerstman.

A reception for Jersey Fresh will be held on Friday, from 5 to 9 p.m. Artists will donate 25% of sales to the Montclair Public Library Foundation.
