Description and history
Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen’s Cupid’s Span, made of fiberglass and steel, was installed in the newly built Rincon Park along the Embarcadero in San Francisco in 2002.The piece resembles Cupid’s bow and arrow, drawn, with the arrow and bow partially implanted in the ground; the artists stated that the piece was inspired by San Francisco’s reputation as the home port of Eros, hence the stereotypical bow and arrow of Cupid. Leydier and Penwarden wrote, “Love’s trade-mark weapon naturally evokes the city’s permissive and romantic reputation, while formally its taut curve resonates wonderfully with the structure of the famous suspension bridge in the background.”
描述和歷史
Claes Oldenburg和Coosje van Bruggen的Cupid’s Span由玻璃纖維和鋼製成，於2002年在舊金山Embarcadero沿線新建的Rincon公園安裝。這件作品類似於丘比特的弓箭，箭頭和箭頭部分植入 地面; 藝術家表示，這件作品的靈感來自舊金山作為愛神之鄉的聲譽，因此丘比特的定型弓箭。 Leydier和Penwarden寫道：“Love的商標武器自然喚起了這個城市的寬容和浪漫的聲譽，而正式的繃緊曲線與背景中著名的懸索橋的結構形成了奇妙的共鳴。”
