580 California Street is a high rise building in San Francisco, California…constructed in the Postmodern style, and mostly of steel. There are twelve statues by Muriel Castanis on the 23rd floor; Castanis described them as ‘Corporate Goddesses’.

My coworkers and I have been wondering about the statues on that roof since we first noticed them this week. Despite the fact that they’re ‘corporate goddesses,’ they’re actually amazing-looking, sort of like hooded Muses or fates. Definitely adds a certain unexpected sense of mystical menace to the Financial District skyline.
