In his murals, Rivera addressed social and political issues regarding revolutionary art and the working class, earning him a legendary status in his home country as well as abroad. He was also invited to work outside of Mexico; most notably the commission for a mural at the Rockefeller Center in New York City stirred up controversy and the piece was destroyed before it was finished. The event will launch the new publication by TASCHEN Diego Rivera: the Complete Murals. This lavish volume features numerous large-scale details of the murals.
