Hearts of San Francisco

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hearts of San Francisco Project was sponsored by San Francisco General Hospital Foundation. 130 recognized and emerging American artist were chosen to re-work the Sculptures and give new themes. Every "Heart Sculpture" had a sponsor that reflected the unique idea of the artist.[1] Each heart was Auctioned of to benefit the San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center.[2] Over 2,000,000.00 dollars were raised for the cause. Artists participating in the project include Roy DeForest, Squeak Carnwath, Alan Chin, and Stan Dann.[3]
