Item Description
SFBC Alumnus Alan Gottstein has donated Coit Tower San Francisco: Its History and Art by Masha Zakheim with photos by Don Beatty
Since the Tower was first opened to the public during the turbulent times of the 1930s, there’s been increased interest in the Public Works Art Project (PWAP), recognized today as the most significant collection of New Deal art. The influence of renowned Mexican artist Diego Rivera has focused additional attention on the murals, since some of the 26 Tower artists had studied with him.
Author Masha Zakheim, daughter of one of the Tower muralists, had the unique opportunity to interview many of the artists in the 1970's, all of them gone now, making this a stand-alone connection to the past.
In 2008, the Tower was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources.
