The future of Diego Rivera's "The Making of a Fresco" is in question, as it's home, San Francisco Art Institute, closed due to financial reasons.A few months ago, the art community was shocked to find out that the San Francisco Art Institute had closed for financial reasons. The institute's most valuable asset is a mural by Mexico artist Diego Rivera. The question now is what will happen to that mural, one of three by Rivera located in San Francisco.
"The Making of a Fresco" was painted by Diego Rivera in 1931. It's home has always been the San Francisco Art Institute on Chestnut Street. But that same institution which operated for 150 years, closed in July due to a series of financial hardships.Historian Will Maynez, prefers the term "conserved.""Conservation means you clean it up and you take care of the little glitches, the inpainting and all that. In the meantime I know the mural is in good shape," explained Maynez.
But the public's access to the mural is now in question. There is also an effort to preserve the Institute's historical archives, documents like the two receipts that show what they paid Rivera for the mural, a check for $2,500 and another for $500. "Which was a lot of money at that time," clarified Jeff Gunderson, the institute's librarian and archivist during a 2021 interview with ABC7 news.The University of California owns the land and the building and was in a lease agreement with the Art Institute.
