data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Chicago organized a public art display called <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cows on Parade<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, following the lead of Zurich, Switzerland, the city that originated the cow parade idea. In Chicago, over 300 fiberglass cows painted by artists and other creatives were placed around the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">city<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> and eventually sold to raise funds for charity. The department store Neiman Marcus commissioned George Rodrigue for their part in the parade. Rodrigue had collaborated with the department store <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the past, creating images for the store\u2019s famed catalog, <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Book<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Rodrigue painted three cows, which <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">were placed<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> in the gardens in front of Neiman Marcus\u2019s Michigan Avenue location (pictured below). <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Black Tie Dogs<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> is one of those three cows. Rodrigue painted a suit with blue dog heads along the jacket onto the cow. At the rear of the cow is a red dog head, revealing Rodrigue\u2019s sense of humor and his ability to make art that engages viewers from every angle.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/art\/drawings\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18544 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Black-Tie-Dogs-at-Chicago-Cow-Parade.jpeg\" alt=\"George Rodrigue Blue Dog Sculpture\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Black-Tie-Dogs-at-Chicago-Cow-Parade.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Black-Tie-Dogs-at-Chicago-Cow-Parade-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Black-Tie-Dogs-at-Chicago-Cow-Parade-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Black-Tie-Dogs-at-Chicago-Cow-Parade-600x450.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The legacy of<em> Black Tie Dogs<\/em> extends beyond its initial display, entangled in a curious saga of artistic ownership and reproduction. A company affiliated with Cow Parade produced thousands of small-scale replicas of Rodrigue\u2019s design without authorization. These illicit miniatures sparked a legal and ethical controversy (pictured). Rodrigue, ever vigilant in safeguarding his intellectual property and the integrity of his Blue Dog motif, intervened decisively. The unauthorized replicas were seized and relegated to a warehouse, where they languished for nearly a decade. In 2008, Rodrigue repurposed this dormant trove for a striking installation at the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA). The display featured 240 of these diminutive Black Tie Dog cow sculptures arrayed before a full-sized cow, creating a meta-commentary on replication, authenticity, and the commodification of art. A photograph from the event captures Rodrigue sitting before this ensemble, his presence underscoring the tension between artistic control and the unruly afterlife of his creations.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-15405 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Black-Tie-Dogs-miniature.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"274\" src=\"https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Black-Tie-Dogs-miniature-300x274.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"George Rodrigue Blue Dog Sculpture\" srcset=\"https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Black-Tie-Dogs-miniature-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Black-Tie-Dogs-miniature-768x702.jpg 768w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Black-Tie-Dogs-miniature-160x147.jpg 160w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Black-Tie-Dogs-miniature-600x549.jpg 600w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Black-Tie-Dogs-miniature.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/GR-with-Cow-Sculptures-2008.jpeg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/GR-with-Cow-Sculptures-2008-225x300.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"George Rodrigue Blue Dog Sculpture\" srcset=\"https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/GR-with-Cow-Sculptures-2008-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/GR-with-Cow-Sculptures-2008-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/GR-with-Cow-Sculptures-2008-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/GR-with-Cow-Sculptures-2008.jpeg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 36pt;\"><b>Cowboy Cow<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/art\/drawings\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15408 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Large-Cow-2-web-1024x672.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Large-Cow-2-web-1024x672.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Large-Cow-2-web-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Large-Cow-2-web-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Large-Cow-2-web-1536x1008.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Large-Cow-2-web-2048x1344.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Large-Cow-2-web-600x394.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><b><i data-wp-editing=\"1\"><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><b><i data-wp-editing=\"1\">Cowboy Cow<br \/>\n<\/i><\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">2003 by George Rodrigue<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Approximate size, 60 x 76 x 16 inches<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Acrylic paint on fiberglass<br \/>\n<\/span>Signed by the artist<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/georgerodrigue.com\/galleries\/\">Contact gallery for pricing.<\/a>\u00a0 Availability subject to change without notice.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>At the conclusion of the Chicago exhibition, the cows were auctioned off and the money was donated to charitable organizations.
