What's missing from all this art in San Francisco's iconic areas? #RestoreArtBalance Left Image found here. Middle: here. Right: here. |
The Restore Car Balance does understand though that there's a definite image problem with cars. Some people might look at vehicles as a barrier in tight-knit cities with a finite supply of land. Others look at vehicles as a danger on pedestrian/cyclists rich streets, and a blight on the city's landscape. This is very apparent in the art that we see in many of the iconic areas of San Francisco, and why the same group will "Restore Art Balance".

Greg says even though the art isn't selling, at all, it wont stop them for commissioning a second batch since the tech money will continue to flow. Their second commission will feature the Ocean Beach parking lot, 280 Freeway stub, and pictures of Mayor Lee's Chevy Volt in bus stops, traffic lanes and crosswalks. The paintings are currently valued at less than $10, but there is some speculation those prices may double over the next few years."
Those car pictures and painting are neat. I may get one or two for office. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteWhy not just get a window near a freeway. It's even more beautiful in person!
