Diego Rivera Autograph - San Francisco World's Fair

In 1939, San Francisco held a World's Fair called "The Golden Gate International Exposition" to celebrate the iconic bridge. The theme was "Pageant of the Pacific". The organizers built an artificial island in San Francisco Bay to hold the event, dubbed "Treasure Island" and it held many wondrous exhibits and had movie and radio stars performing on stage. The Fair was such a success that it was held over for a second year. One of the reasons it was so successful (despite competing with New York's World's Fair being held at the same time), was the work of artists such as the famed muralist Diego Rivera. He painted a ten-panel mural titled "Pan American Unity" while the fair progressed. This piece is a tribute to that work. It features a picture of one of Mr. Rivera's murals, a 3x4" photo of him working on the exhibit, a 3x4" page from an autograph book signed by Diego Rivera, and a ticket for the Exposition. The autograph was obtained personally by my late wife who worked at the Fair, and she also took the photograph shown here at that time. The piece measures 15x18". We're pleased to offer this rare Diego Rivera autograph for sale.
