Artwork

Of the ten artworks installed for the Central Subway, three are located at Yerba Buena/Moscone station:

• Node by Roxy Paine, is a 110 feet (34 m)-tall sculpture shaped like a branch, tapering from a diameter of 48 inches (1,200 mm) at the base to 1⁄4 inch (6.4 mm) at the peak, located in the plaza outside the station.[3]
• An untitled work by Catherine Wagner consists of her photographs taken during the late 1970s during the construction of the Moscone Center, rendered on etched granite panels approximately 10 by 12.5 feet (3.0 m × 3.8 m) on the mezzanine and platform walls. One photograph is rendered in art glass at the surface level station entry at 14 by 23 feet (4.3 m × 7.0 m).[4][5][3]
• Face C/Z by Leslie Shows is a photographic image of iron pyrite enlarged to 36 by 15 feet (11.0 m × 4.6 m) and rendered in glass, metal, gravel, and other materials above the faregates.[6][7][8]

A work by Tom Otterness, consisting of 59 bronze sculptures, was canceled in November 2011 after it was publicized that Otterness had previously filmed himself in 1977 shooting a dog for the piece "Shot Dog Film".[9][10] Three temporary artworks were displayed on the fence around the construction site: Horizons by Kota Ezawa in 2013–14,[11] Ellipsis in the Key of Blue by Randy Colosky in 2014,[12][13] and Procession, by Jason Jägel in 2017.[14][15]
