Created in 1940 as part of the Art in Action exhibition at the Golden Gate International Exposition on San Francisco’s Treasure Island, Diego Rivera's 'The Marriage of the Artistic Expression of the North and of the South on the Continent,' more commonly referred to as 'Pan American Unity,' measures 22 feet high by 74 feet wide. It is comprised of ten fresco panels and is the largest portable mural created by Rivera, and his last made in the United States.
The mural is on loan from City College of San Francisco and displayed in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's free-to-visit street-level Roberts Family Gallery.
Here's a look at how SFMOMA brought it in and installed the masterwork.
