      2. C.G. Jung Institute regarding Layla by Joe Mangrum
         Action
         
         Discussion and possible motion: Joe Mangrum (Artist) and the Jung Institute have reached an agreement whereby Artist, through his contractor, may remove the central figure of his terrazzo artwork, Layla, located at the S.W. corner of Mission Street and 22nd Street.  Subject to the conditions in that agreement, the Commission authorizes the Artist to remove Layla.  Upon removal, the Commission approves the deaccession of Layla from the Civic Art Collection, and title of Layla shall revert to Artist.  It is understood and agreed that in the course of removal by Artist’s contractor Layla may be destroyed, and such destruction is at the Artist’s own risk.  Jung Institute and Artist have further agreed that if Artist cannot remove Layla within 10 days of Artist’s contractor receiving a permit or permission from SFPUC or Jung Institute’s General Contractor to start work under either’s permit, or in the event removal fails for any reason on or before one month from today, then Jung Institute shall have the right to destroy Layla as part of its development; on the condition, however, that Jung Institute and Artist will re-create Layla.  The Commission therefore authorizes the Jung Institute to destroy Layla subject to those conditions.  The Commission further authorizes the Director of Cultural Affairs to enter into an Agreement with the Artist for his participation in the re-created Layla, with the working title of Layla 2, and to pay Artist $5,000 for his work.  Upon final completion, the Commission approves the accession of Layla 2 (working title) into the Civic Art Collection.
