I would like to extend a big thank you to Suzanne Parks, the Volunteer Art Curator at Hastings Law School for this information.
This sculpture is titled “Gary Diptych #1” and is by San Francisco Bay area artist Richard Mayer. He loaned Hastings the sculpture back in the early 1980’s and then gave it to them in 2008.
In his statement, the artist said: With its affirmation and ambiguity, “Gary Diptych #1 is intended as a metaphor for our times.
Mayer sat on the board of the SFAC when Arneson was chosen to make the, at the time, highly controversial sculpture for a memorial to slain mayor George Moscone

Hmm, he got the “ambiguous” part right, as I’m of two minds on this.
Very cool!
I like the graphic nature of it but certainly get the ambiguity too!
