Dinosaur Notebook

Featuring the art of Iván Argote, our limited edition Dinosaur collection features the famous 21-foot tall “big pigeon” from the fourth High Line Plinth commission. A celebration of the humble, oft-maligned pigeon, Argote’s sculpture garnered a lot of love from New Yorkers and tourists alike.

Reflecting on the work’s title, Argote notes, “The name Dinosaur makes reference to the sculpture’s scale and to the pigeon’s ancestors who millions of years ago dominated the globe, as we humans do today… the name also serves as a reference to the dinosaur’s extinction. Like them, one day we won’t be around anymore, but perhaps a remnant of humanity will live on—as pigeons do—in the dark corners and gaps of future worlds. I feel this sculpture could generate an uncanny feeling of attraction, seduction, and fear among the inhabitants of New York.”
