Greetings! I come in peace. Don’t you just LOVE San Francisco? Where else do happy-looking monsters make perfect sense outside an office building? This toothy creature is one of three sculptures included in artist Ugo Rondinone’s installation Moonrise Sculptures at 555 Mission Street.

The Bold Italic is a not-for-profit media organization, and we publish first-person perspectives about San Francisco and the Bay Area. We operate under a fiscal sponsorship of a 501(c)(3).
