Deitch is honored to present Judith F. Baca: The Great Wall of Los Angeles, The 1970s - A Decade of Defiance and Dreams, the first comprehensive exhibition of Baca's historic 1970s mural-making process for The Great Wall of Los Angeles, one of the most iconic public art projects in Los Angeles history. The exhibition explores the story behind the creation of this groundbreaking mural and Baca's role in pioneering the field of community-based public art. Through large-scale drawings, photographs, and archival materials, the exhibition provides an in-depth look at the collaborative process Baca used to create the seminal mural, which depicts the history of California and is a visual representation of the diversity of the state's ethnic and cultural heritage.
