Murals and Mosaics

A series that aims to capture, catalog and celebrate the beauty of Chicago’s streets, as seen through its public art.

Completed in 1974 by Chicago artists John Pitman Weber and Jose Guerrero, the painting is inside the United Electrical Workers union hall, which soon could be sold and redeveloped.
Wilfredo Garcia, a self-taught painter from the Venezuelan countryside, paid in murals for his trip across several countries, leaving traces of the spirit of the Venezuelan heartland all along the way.
