“Berkeley Big People,” two massive sculptures made of steel and bronze, may be torn down after Berkeley's arts commission voted to remove the installation.
For more than a decade, two massive sculptures have greeted visitors on both sides of Interstate 80 in west Berkeley. Now, the installation faces deconstruction after the city’s arts commission voted to remove it.
The two-part piece, created by artist Scott Donahue, has stirred debate since it was erected in 2008, and many have expressed dissatisfaction with its aesthetic. On July 24, the Berkeley Civic Arts Commission voted to remove the sculptures..” The group says the statue requires excessive maintenance and conservation that could cost more than $100,000. The artwork cost $196,762 when first created.
