Securing Historic Artwork through Structural Ingenuity

Pan American Unity is the largest contiguous mural created by Diego Rivera and his last work in the United States. Timothy Pflueger invited Rivera to paint the mural for the Golden Gate International Exposition, which took place on Treasure Island, San Francisco, in 1940. He participated in a special exhibit called Art in Action, where the spectators could experience the artistic process firsthand as muralists, painters, sculptors, and other artists performed their work live.
