About This Item
KPIX-TV news footage from January 24, 1967 with reporter Jim Anderson featuring a visit to the Emeryville mudflat sculptures located along the shoreline of San Francisco Bay, next to the I-80 southbound lanes in Emeryville. Includes silent views of these sculptures made from discarded materials, which were first erected in the early 1960s. As Anderson puts it during his brief introduction: "Tonight we are going to look at junk: beautiful or otherwise." Also note that the iconic Sherwin-Williams Paint sign can be glimpsed behind the pile of junkyards cars in the background over Anderson's shoulder (0:34-0:39). Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks.
