What is the bow and arrow sculpture on the Embarcadero?

Last updated July 17, 2022 by ZagBot Comment

Cupid’s Span is a sculpture in San Francisco created by husband-and-wife artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen.

Installed in November 2002 in Rincon Park on the Embarcadero, against the backdrop of the Bay Bridge, the 60-foot-high sculpture depicts a bow and arrow partially embedded in the ground and is thought to represent Cupid’s arrow.
