American Steel sculpture

Big Art Studios is located in the old American Steel factory on Mandela Parkway in West Oakland.  It is now home to many different artists.  You may remember a previously posted sculpture earlier in the year from the same studio.  Tash sent me her research results indicating it was made by Das Mann.  Many of his giant sculptures are now in a large yard behind the building.  Spotted this guy last week.  Must be 10-12 feet tall and an attention grabber among the several other giant sculptures on the yard.

    Thank you for the information on the art location! Nice addition to your blog. It would be great to see, and maybe I will. This is a very unique piece of sculpture, what a great find. Keep them coming. Will be back.

    Das Mann is the creator of some of the most impressive (and memorable) art pieces to be seen at the annual Burning Man event in the Black Rock desert of Nevada. Thank you for the memories.

    That is fascinating. I have seen work similar, but this seems bigger. Nice contribution.
