The massive mural — one of three of Rivera’s frescoes in the Bay Area — will go back into storage until a new theater is built.
Five days a week, Will Maynez makes a pilgrimage from his Mission District home to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to view a massive Diego Rivera mural.
“This is the best that this mural has ever been presented,” said Maynez, a retired lab manager who has made it his mission to protect the painting — the only one of three Rivera murals in San Francisco that is currently on public display. “It’s available 24/7 and you can look right in from the windows. I’d come back from Giants home games at night and I can stop by and take a peek.”
Mural historian Will Maynez talks with Iris Sabre, 79, of Albany and her granddaughter Meadow Mihok, 16, of Alameda, about Diego Rivera’s “Pan American Unity” fresco on display at the Museum of Modern Art In San Francisco, Calif., Thursday, July 6, 2023. Sabre’s mother studied fresco painting under Rivera.
