Remarks:
The sculpture is a replacement for a 1955 concrete and haydite sculpture also by Sybrian. (The original concrete sculpture was sited at the foot of the Hearst Wall, under Dr. Thomas Wiper's house until around 1958; and then moved by the edge of the water. It lasted about 8 years before deteriorating from water and debris exposure). The bronze replacement sculpture, cast from the original molds, was funded by the
Sausalito
Foundation.
