Buda has officially unveiled a massive, 19-foot-long wiener dog sculpture in Buda City Park to solidify its reputation as the Wiener Dog Capital of Texas, as reported by Chron. The structure stands 10 feet tall and five feet wide, making it a serious piece of public art. It is built entirely from Cor-Ten steel, which develops a protective, rust-toned patina that will help it withstand the harsh Texas sun for decades.
The project was a significant undertaking that required a team effort to assemble more than 400 individual pieces of steel. It was imagined by Jennifer Storm and brought to life by the Austin-based public art studio Art Seen Alliance.
