SAULSALITO, Calif.'s mayor is hoping that a planned plunge into San Francisco Bay on Wednesday will help cover the last leg of a fundraising effort to restore her city's iconic Sea Lion sculpture.
"We are close to raising enough money for the restoration of our iconic statue," Blaustein said. "This is my way of contributing my lion's share." Fabricated in concrete in 1957 by local artist Al Sybrian, the sculpture was starting to wear down by mid-1960s and was replaced by a bronze cast of the original.The cost of repairs and reinstalling the 1,900-pound sculpture is about $50,000. Organizers with the Sausalito Foundation said Tuesday that they hope to have it back on the waterfront by the end of summer.
