This sculpture is called Transcendence by Masayuki Nagare and is made of 200 tons of black Swedish granite.
This piece was dubbed “The Bankers Heart” by famous San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen. When NationsBank acquired BofA in 1998, a joke making the rounds said conquering Chief Executive Officer Hugh McColl Jr. was going to hijack the sculpture to the bank’s home office in Charlotte, N.C. NationsBank adopted the BofA name and took most of its operations but left its “heart” in San Francisco.
It was commissioned in 1969 during the construction of the building.
