Details
Go ahead, shake his hand. The Shaking Man is a man in motion welcoming visitors to Yerba Buena Gardens since 1993. The life-size bronze is by Terry Allen, songwriter, singer, and artist, whose work is shown around the world. Toting a brief case and split into three interconnected figures, some see Shaking Man’s multiple dimensions as the subject over time. Others view the quivering as a physical reaction from earthquakes or an attempt to reach out to those who pass by. What’s your take?
