Guests to San Francisco’s just-opened Four Seasons Hotel at Embarcadero will be welcomed to the lobby with a monumental surprise: a 6-and-a-half-foot-tall bronze sculpture by the acclaimed American artist Guy Dill.
Titled Ohlone, the work is named after the Native American people of the San Francisco coast.

“Guy Dill is creating sculpture that truly enlivens and humanizes public spaces,” Steven A. Nash, the former director of the Nasher Sculpture Center, once wrote of Dill’s sculpture.
Here that prowess is on view: Ohlone’s sweeping, almost balletic curves imbue the sculpture with a figurative elegance and dynamism.

The sculpture was commissioned through San Francisco’s Meyerovich Gallery.
To celebrate the installation, the gallery has organized “Guy Dill: Geometry in Motion,” a selection of new and recent unique bronze and aluminum sculptures. Inspired hotel guests are welcome to stop by and—if they should so please—even take one home.
“Geometry in Motion” is on view at Meyerovich Gallery through February 15, 2021.
