Coming this May San Francisco Calls Three Heads Six Arms Home

Zhang Huan, Three Heads Six Arms, 2008

As part of the Shanghai Celebration, Zhang Huan's sculpture Three Heads Six Arms, 2008 will premiere this May 2010 in San Francisco in the Civic Center across from City Hall. The sculpture weighing 15 tons and standing over 26 feet tall, is part of Zhang Huan's sculpture series depicting Buddha arms, legs, feet, hands, and heads. This monumental series is inspired by the artists experience of seeing remnants of religious sculptures destroyed during the Cultural Revolution for sale in a Tibetan market.
