The three penguins, carved from a single porphyry granite, was originally made for the Treasure Island Golden Gate Exposition of 1939 and funded by the WPA. The artist, Beniamino "Bene" Bufano, was Italian and arrived in San Francisco in 1914. He called the Bay Area home for much of his life and completed many works there.
