Cupid's Span (Oldenburg & van Bruggen)

Cupid's Span is a large public sculpture by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen installed in Rincon Park along the Embarcadero in 2002. The work depicts a bow and an oversized arrow partially embedded in the ground and is constructed from painted aluminum and fiberglass. It was commissioned as part of waterfront revitalization and is a frequently photographed landmark along San Francisco's waterfront.
