And it's #MosaicMonday! I went to the Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo, California today to make sure I got another chance to see the wonderful Benny Bufano sculptures before they tear the mall down as part of a planned redevelopment effort. (Tear-down date TBD)

I'd never noticed the mosaic pillars before.

@jeridansky Are you in San Francisco? He worked with the Ravenna Mosaic company of St Louis. I curated their corporate records in grad school. What I'm saying is I was surprised to see Bufano's name in my timeline. :)

@rjblaskiewicz And you got me scurrying to learn about his mosaic work, since I was just familiar with his sculptures!

I'm in Half Moon Bay, about an hour's drive south of San Francisco.

I'll be including his name more in the near future as I share photos of the sculptures in the mall.
