“ JUBILEE “ was created in honor of Queen Elizabeth’s “ Golden Jubilee “ commemorating her “ 50th “ year as the Queen of England. Keith Wallace is the artist who designed this little beauty for the “ 2002 London Cow Parade “ charity auction event. The fiberglass life-size “ JUBILEE “ cow was on display at Buckingham Palace to commemorate the Queen’s reign and was on loan from the Four Seasons Hotel. She is painted in a shimmering gold, and decorated with the official royal flag depicting a sketch of the royal crown, and the year of the Queen’s inauguration date.

The story behind CowParade The idea of CowParade came into being in Zurich, Switzerland, at the end of the 90s. Its goal is to make art approachable in the urban environment. For everyone, without barriers. Until 2012, 75 CowParade events have been organised all over the world. Approximately 300 million people have visited at least one event somewhere in the world.A CowParade event runs 2 to 3 months and is always organised in cooperation with local partners. Since 2000, a special event was added: The auction of the life-size art cows at the end of the exhibition. Many tens of millions of dollars have been collected for local charities – already over US$ 40 million has been collected.

The identical scale models In total, more than 5000 artists have painted a cow at an event, so inspiration for the scale models is always available. That is why approximately every 6 months a new collection of about 20 new design comes out. From all continents, all possible events, all years. For the collection two materials are used. The large majority is made of high-quality synthetic resin – poly resin. In addition to this, a part of the collection is made of ceramic; you can find these among the “medium” cows
