La sculpture Québec libre, plus connue sous le nom de Fontaine Vaillancourt est une œuvre monumentale d'Armand Vaillancourt réalisée en 1971 à San Francisco rdf:langString
Vaillancourt Fountain, sometimes called Quebec libre!, is a large fountain in Embarcadero Plaza in San Francisco, designed by the Québécois artist Armand Vaillancourt in 1971. It is about 40 feet (12 m) high and is constructed out of precast concrete square tubes. Long considered controversial because of its stark, modernist appearance, there have been several unsuccessful proposals to demolish the fountain over the years. It was the site of a free concert by U2 in 1987, when lead singer Bono spray painted graffiti on the fountain and was both praised and criticized for the action. rdf:langString
La Vaillancourt Fountain​ es una gran fuente situada en la plaza Justin Herman en San Francisco, California al oeste de los Estados Unidos diseñada por el artista quebequense Armand Vaillancourt en 1971. Se eleva unos 12 m de altura y está construida con tubos cuadrados de hormigón prefabricado. Considerada durante mucho tiempo controvertida debido a su marcado, aspecto modernista, se han realizado varias propuestas fracasadas de demoler la fuente en los últimos años. Fue el sitio donde se produjo un concierto gratuito de U2 en 1987, cuando el cantante Bono pintó con aerosol un grafiti en la fuente y fue a la vez alabado y criticado por la acción. rdf:langString

rdf:langString [T]he water is as essential to [Vaillancourt Fountain] as it was superfluous to [the nearby Mechanics Monument]. Vaillancourt is a sprawling, lifeless skeleton in its current dry state, with a chain-link fence blocking the two sets of stairs that once allowed people to peer down into the roiling maelstrom below. The chain of island-like steppingstones that made visitors feel they were walking on water is now a gantlet of precarious pedestals several feet above a rock-hard floor. The site is littered with trash. ...
rdf:langString It makes little sense to spend money to add even a single new object to our civic art collection if we allow the virtual eradication, through neglect and obliviousness to its original intention, of our city's most visible public work. We are the heirs to a memorial that, encountered as it was designed to be, animates a moment in art and history that cannot be re-created. If our city agencies can understand that, their priorities should be as clear as the waters of a healthy Vaillancourt Fountain.
