The story behind San Francisco's "Invisible Men"

from San Francisco City Insider · host San Francisco Chronicle columnist Heather Knight

People walking to City Hall will be surprised to see 40 identical sculptures, each weighing more than 300 pounds, standing like soldiers just out front. Artist Zak Ove, an Englishman who’s the first black person to have art displayed in the plaza, explains the work’s meaning, how it’s a counterpoint to the controversial Pioneer Monument and how it relates to San Francisco’s heartbreaking homeless problem.
