Recently on a trip to San Francisco I was able to see the SF MOMA installation of a number of
Mark di Suvero sculptures at Chrissy Field, a reclaimed military base, on the shore of San Francisco Bay. The installation was striking in many ways: its stark contrast with the grassland and the sea, its harmony with the Golden Gate Bridge, its resonance with the surrounding construction work and the multiple cranes that echoed the forms, its framing of the city skyline off in the distance and the bold shapes and colours of the massive steel works themselves and how they framed the vistas and drew your eye to the sky above.
