The “Ghost Fish” sculpture, a 40-foot blue fin tuna hung from a galvanized steel frame over the water at Berth 73 near Sampson Way, will incorporate aluminum and glass cast objects and artifacts gathered from local fishermen. A solar-powered camera and video screen in the fish’s eye will illuminate, according to an email they sent me.

Te $6.5 million project is slated to start in July and is expected to be completed by fall 2012.

The” Ghost Fish” sculpture by artist Carl Cheng and surrounding furniture by Harold Greene  will be one of a series of recent Port public art installations. In February, the Port unveiled its latest public art piece – “Ship in a Bottle” by world renowned artist Mark Dion – during a ceremony at the newly renovated Cabrillo Way Marina.

“It’s exciting to move forward on another facet of our historic LA Waterfront revitalization effort,” said Port Executive Director Geraldine Knatz, Ph.D. “With each project we come closer to creating a world-class waterfront that can be enjoyed by Angelenos and visitors from around the world.”
