SAN FRANCISCO - A 45-foot-tall sculpture of a nude woman that was scrapped from a plan to place it in Union Square earlier this year is back, but at a different location in San Francisco.
The Unveiling What we know: The unveiling of the sculpture, R-EVOLUTION, is set for Thursday, April 10 at Embarcadero Plaza. The multidimensional sculpture, done by Marco Cochrane, appeared at Burning Man in 2015 and was also seen on the Las Vegas Strip as well as Petaluma.
Officials said it couldn't be at Union Square because the 16,000-pound statue is too heavy for the square's tiles.

Doesn't say who paid for it or how much.
I guess we should be glad it’s not a nude man, being as it’s SF.
Chk for STDs.
This is San Francisco, how do we know that the statue doesn’t identify as a man?

Who would have thought the end of times would be this stupid?
It’s not just hideous, but it’s 45 feet of hideous.
But these days, do we really know that it is a woman? What would Justice Jackson say?
My thoughts too. All the gay guys will whip it out and pee on the female statue.
That’s probably why the City Mothers excuse the expression, erected it.
Of course it’s nude. Clothing would have cost a fortune. Can you imagine what size bra she would take?
Is that the remake of “Attack of the 50 foot woman?”
Saw this movie back in 1958. The Attack of the 50 Foot Amazon Woman starring Allison Hayes.
It’s never the ones you’d want to see nude...
LOL!
When I moved to San Francisco in summer 1973, the Vaillancourt Fountain (which is very close to Naked Woman) was only two years old and was very controversial. Most people considered it to be very ugly. Being a mechanical engineer working in power plants with massive piping systems, I naturally liked it...but only when it had water flowing.
The good libs turn it off when droughts hit: 2001–2004 (drought), winter 2007–2008 (water was splashing skaters in the nearby skating rink), 2014–2017 (drought), and 2024–Present (the fountain was drained and turned off in June 2024 after its pumps failed and the electrical system showed significant issues. As of the latest reports, it remains off while the city assesses whether to repair or replace the systems, with no immediate plans to refill it.)
Of course, nothing beats the San Jose, CA Quetzalcoatl "Pile of Sh!t" statue for sheer beauty!
What the....???
Looks like Hillary Clinton.
It's never the ones you'd want to see nude...
Dude looks like a lady.
