San Francisco backyard uncovers 150-pound statue
In May, Greg Gatwood discovered a large bust of a woman in his San Francisco backyard while working on his yard. His wife, Judy Gittelsohn, contacted experts who suggested the sculpture may date from the 1930s and could be linked to the 1939 World’s Fair on Treasure Island, possibly created by Ralph Stackpole or other artists associated with the event. The bust, likely made of limestone, is now being preserved by the couple, who do not plan to sell or have it appraised. Art historians believe it may have originated from the “Court of Pacifica” area at the fair, but its exact origin remains uncertain.
