Description

Richard Ayer’s bas relief “Nautical Abstractions” is composed of paint on plaster with embedded rope and piping. It is located on the 3rd floor of the Aquatic Park in San Francisco.

Ayer also painted the mural “Tugboats” installed on the third floor above the east door.

Both pieces were completed in 1939 with the help of FAP funds.
