Pacifica. Peter Stackpole, 1938.
It reminds me of something right out of King Kong – the mood this temporary Goddess emanates. Created in the thirties by Peter Stackpole for the 1939-1940 Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island, the statue - a temporary plaster and steel installment for the Exposition only - stood eighty feet tall and was drenched in white with a hundred foot curtain of star-shaped bangles behind her.
