On the weekend
of November 24, 2002, San Francisco installed its newest public art, Claes
Oldenburg's "Cupid's Span." The 60-foot bow
and arrow appears to be partially driven into the ground, as if it fell
from heaven. The sculpture graces a new waterfront park along the Embarcadero
between the Ferry Building and the Bay
Bridge. The beholder will either love "Cupid's Span" or hate, hate,
hate it. Objects of public sculpture that have been rejected by the City
in the past include a giant foot by Buster Simpson, a rusty tower by Richard
Serra, and a giant peace sign by Tony Labat.
