San Francisco Street Art

All over San Francisco there are sculptures of hearts. "Hearts in San Francisco" started as a fundraiser for the General Hospital in San Francisco. Every year they are molded and painted by different artists. The hearts decorate the city in different areas until they are auctioned off at the event for the hospital charity.

Robert Rauschenberg

Rauschenberg helped transition art from abstract expressionism to pop art.

He picked up trash on the streets of New York City and found objects that interested him and brought them back to his studio where he could merge them into his work

Scott McCarney: Last Lines, 2010

Scott describes his piece of art, "The books I use are library discards, thrift store finds, or throw aways. Their out-of date content and bulk are poor competitors with the vast, but invisible World Wide Web."

William Ransom: Hold Back Hold Forth, 2009

"The dynamics of distance and separation shape this piece made from the trunk and branches of a single tree. The two empty seats retain a connection that is rigid, yet fragile. And while each end can move, they cannot either come together or move apart; a metaphor for our ties to family and geography."
