Untitled (Asiatic Head), 1958

The sculpture below is Otto Fischer-Credo's Untitled (Asiatic Head) (1958). For over sixty years this head stood, as heads will do, within a stone's throw of the Frederic Wood Theatre at UBC.

The City of Vancouver Public Art Registry lists the scultpure's status as "cancelled," yet retains this description: 

This classically beautiful face with Asian characteristics was exhibited as part of an exhibition of outdoor sculpture organized by the Northwest Institute of Sculptors and later donated to the University by Mrs. Astrid Fischer-Credo. In 1977 a replica was made by Gerhard Class.

Here is a link to a slow-moving, slow-clapping response to the sculpture prior to its deinstallation.
