Sphinx by Arthur Putnam, c. 1910, replacing original version commissioned for 1894 California Midwinter International Exposition, concrete - De Young Museum, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California, USA. This artwork is in the public domain because the artist died more than 70 years ago. Edit: The new Sphinxes first appear in front of the Memorial Museum (former California Midwinter International Exposition Fine Arts Building) in 1908.
