What the project record tells us

Waterfront park · San Francisco, California

Sea Change: a city collection and waterfront setting

The artist’s public sculpture register identifies Sea Change as a 1995 work in painted steel and stainless steel, standing 60 feet high. It records permanent installation at San Francisco’s South Beach Park and inclusion in the city and county collection through the San Francisco Arts Commission. This is a named civic precedent, not an available inventory listing.

Riverfront park · Council Bluffs, Iowa

Big Mo: a monumental work in a riverfront park

The same register records Big Mo, dated 2010–2014, at Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park in Council Bluffs, Iowa. It lists steel, stainless steel and painted steel, with dimensions exceeding 75 feet in height. The work belongs to the Iowa West Public Art Foundation collection, distinguishing this reference from a work offered for acquisition.
