Massive nude woman sculpture in blue city sparks reaction after public unveiling: 'Embarrassed'
A 45-foot statue of a nude woman is the newest — and tallest — resident of San Francisco’s Embarcadero Plaza.
The artwork, titled "R-Evolution," was unveiled with music, lights and performance art Thursday,
courtesy of the public art nonprofit Illuminate. Designed to glow at night and appear to "breathe" via internal motors, the statue was meant to represent strength and compassion.
Instead, it’s sparked backlash, internet memes and questions about the city's priorities.
Originally created for Burning Man in 2015 by sculptor Marco Cochrane, the stainless steel figure now stands outside the Ferry Building, casting a long (and anatomically detailed) shadow over a city where fewer and fewer people seem impressed by spectacle.
