Stacking Stones by Seiji Kunishma – 1983
These stones were commissioned by SFAC for the airport in 1983. They remained in the airport during the new construction.
Born in Nagoya, Japan, Seiji Kunishima is an internationally renowned artist whose sculptures are characterized by a serene balance between the traditional and the modern. Stacking Stones weighs 14 tons and is created from stone quarried near Nagoya. Each section of rock was shaped to fit into the next and the outer surface was chiseled or polished to create contrasts of color, texture and depth. The stones weigh over 14 tons.

Wow, this impressive. I like the contrast between the polished faces and the still rough cuts. It would have been something to see this installed.
