McAllister and Hyde
Wall of the Asian Art Museum
Civic Center
UPDATE: The artist on this is actually an artist from Iowa that goes by TheUpside.
Apparently the UpTown Almanac and I spotted this one at the same time. Here is what they wrote:
Tim Hallman, the Asian Art Museum’s Communications Director, dropped us a line about the beautiful piece:
I think the Asian Art Museum got “tagged” by this famous Parisian street artist. No confirmation from the artist yet, though. It appeared overnight on the McAllister Street side of the building, near Hyde. We didn’t hire her, but we like it.
The artist in question is Mademoiselle Maurice, who has been lighting up the streets of Paris, Hong Kong, and Vietnam with her rainbow-patterned origami art for the past few months.
So pretty and happy! I hope she will do more in SF.
Love it! Such wonderful ephemeral work! Lucky SF!! The link to her work is fantastic!
This is the kind of tagging one can appreciate. Wonderful.
Hey, thanks for the awesome post! To clarify, the artist is actually from Iowa. He goes by TheUpside.

How very cute! Love it.
