This is definitely one of my favorite public art pieces in the City. The SF Art Comission and Public Works worked together for this permanent art installation at the intersection of Broadway and Columbus. What's cool is that the books are illuminated at night solar power, and from a different angle, mimic the wings of birds in flight. They widened the sidewalk at the intersection (and removed a horrible turn lane off Columbus, but I digress). Look down at your feet and the paving is imprinted with words taken from certain books tied to the literary history of the area, and they kept the original fonts!!!! So cool!!!!
Stay tuned for other shots- I'm hoping to get a night shot and a detail of the paving.
