Dog-watching, already one of Central Park’s top attractions, is about to get a little more enticing.

This fall, the Paris-born, New York–based artist Camille Henrot will install 12 large-scale dog sculptures in Doris C. Freedman Plaza, a very visible spot at the southwest corner of the New York park. The Public Art Fund project will be on view for a full year, from September 9 through August 29, 2027.

Henrot’s “Dogs” will be made of bronze, stone, steel, and concrete, and will be based on previous artworks of hers. One thinks of the variety of dog sculptures on view in “A Number of Things,” her 2025 show at Hauser & Wirth. That exhibition was chock-full of charming canine friends with evocative names, like Noé (made out of sheets of steel, sitting on his haunches), Francesco (a French bulldog carved out of wood), and Helix (an adorable pup with stroller wheels for back legs). There was also Margaret, Sammy, and Richelieu.
