The murals at Coit Tower were completed 85 years ago, in the early summer of 1934. The murals were, at the time, the largest art project funded by the New Deal, produced by artists such as Victor Arnautoff, Maxine Alrbo, Rinaldo Queno, Ralph Stackpole, and many more. On Thursday, October 3 SFSU Professor Emeritus Robert Cherny will give us a virtual tour of the murals, tell us about the controversy at the time they were completed (it involved a hammer and sickle), and the decades of neglect and vandalism that followed as well as the most recent restoration.
