It speaks to the reduced reputation of Mexican artist Diego Rivera in the 21st century that "Diego Rivera s America" is the first major exhibition focused on the artist in more than two decades.
San Francisco boasts three Rivera murals, one of which is the centerpiece of the recent exhibition, along with 150 additional works that have been loaned to the exhibition or reorganized from the museum’s own extensive collection.
Diego Rivera's America," a soon-closing exhibition at the SFMOMA, spectacularly conveys the Mexican artist's vision for cultural solidarity among the Americas.
