A historic downtown L.A. mural has been painted over and the art organization that oversees it is pointing a finger at the California Department of Transportation.
The Social and Public Art Resource Center learned about the whitewashing of the mural, titled “Hitting the Wall,” Thursday evening after a passerby snapped a photograph and sent it to the organization headed by the mural’s creator, Judy Baca.The artwork — located in Caltrans’ jurisdiction — is copyrighted and registered with the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
“It’s an insult,” Rogel said. “The artist was heartbroken. … To have this happen to her mural is outrageous.”The mural, which was painted on the 110 Freeway near the 4th Street exit in 1984, was commissioned by the International Olympic Committee to commemorate the first time women were allowed to run in the Olympic marathon, Rogel said.“Caltrans is disappointed over the removal of the mural,” Caltrans District 7 director John Bulinski said in a statement.
