Hello,
I am a Hispanic advocate in Columbia, Missouri. I have a radio program
in Spanish.English here, national radio; La Hora Latina; I write a column in
Spanish & English, only one of its kind (Spanish) in more than one county
and am organizing HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH recognition by the University and
city, it has never been done. I would love to have this in our city or
university, what is the cost of the transportation if you know. I think it
would be much easier for you to tell me since I don't have an clue what is
involved in transporting.
I appreciate very fast reply as time is of the essence!
God bless you,
M. Cristina Lindall

Subject: Ceramic tile mural of Mexico
A ceramic tile mural that formerly occupied the exterior of the
defunct Ahmanson building in Los Angeles, CA is available to a non-profit
organization that can care for this large-scale work. The mural is currently
stored in 10 plywood crates. The mural is free, and the interested
organization will need to pay for transport and possible re-crating if it
must travel long-distance.
The mural, called The History of Mexico and Mankind, was colorfully
designed by Raul S. Esparza of Torreon, Mexico for the California Museum of
Science & Industry in recognition of the long standing friendship between
Mexico and the United States. The artist had a studio and kiln built at the
museum during his residency. It was completed in 1975.
The mural measures 24' x 60' when installed. It weighs
approximately 9,000 lbs. It consists of eight sections depicting aspects of
Aztec and Mayan cultures. The mural includes images and ideas such as the
concept of mathematics, calendar, pre-Hispanic culture, and the political
history of conquest and independence.
We need to find a home fast as we plan to move our permanent
collection by the end of the summer!
Please call or email me for more information! Photographs and
installation plans available.
