SF Sculpture: Three Heads / Six Arms - Poof It's Gone!



I visited SF's Civic Center Plaza Feb. 5, 2011, and snapped this shot of a huge 15-ton, 26-foot tall copper Buddha sculpture by Zhang Huan, entitled Three Heads / Six Arms. It is part of the 30th Anniversary celebration of  San Francisco-Shanghai Sister-City project.  You can watch a slide show of the sculpture being installed on May 4, 2010. You can see this slide show of it being dismantled on February 11, 2011.

It is my considered opinion that this massive bronze sculpture has been the subject of political maneuvering which resulted in its removal prior to the original scheduled date.
