Lifshutz says sculpture he brought to downtown San Antonio ‘mocks’ Lenin, Mao

March 23, 2022 By Ben Olivo 1 Comment

The sculpture "Miss Mao Trying to Poise Herself at the Top of Lenin’s Head" resides on the back of private property on the 300 block of West Commerce Street near the San Pedro Creek Culture Park.

“The intention of their piece was not to honor or glorify Lenin or Mao. And it’s not my intention, either. … I’m not trying to glorify authoritarians, particularly Communists. I’m a capitalist, through and through,” said James Lifshutz, the downtown developer who brought a controversial sculpture depicting Chairman Mao and Vladimir Lenin to west downtown.
