Sculptor: Ralph Stackpole. Most famously known for the statue of Pacifica at the Golden Gate International Exposition in 1939 on Treasure Island. This is in front of what used to be the Pacific Stock Exchange Building in San Francisco. The building has been adaptively reused as an Equinox Fitness Center. 📸: me/2025/02/07 #ArtDeco
This 1940 bas relief by Ralph Stackpole is in the U.S. Department of the Interior's Yates Auditorium. It depicts the 1869 Powell Expedition to explore the Grand Canyon's Colorado River. Explorer/geologist John Wesley Powell (depicted at upper right) had lost his arm during the Civil War at the Battle of Shiloh. In 1881 he would become the second director of Interior's U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
This week's Teach This Poem pairs Walt Whitman's classic "I Hear America Singing" with this painting by Ralph Stackpole, "Industries of California." For classroom activities and resources, check out Poets.org.
Pacific Coast Stock Exchange
Financial DistrictPacific Coast Stock Exchange
The Pacific Stock Exchange began life as a classical U.S. Treasury building, then in the 1930's, Timothy Pflueger was hired to turn it into the Stock Exchange. Â He was growing weary of classicism but was instructed that the granite stairs and the ten Tuscan columns had to remain. Â The building was essentially torn town, leaving the front we see today. Â Then Pflueger met Ralph Stackpole, and a wonderful working relationship was formed.
Stackpole created the medallions on the entablature, as well as the two gorgeous art deco statues that grace the sides of the building.

Stackpole was involved in the art and causes of social realism, especially during the Great Depression, when he was part of the Federal Art Project for the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Stackpole was friends with Diego Rivera and influential in having him brought to San Francisco for work on the Pacific Club.
