• Los Gatos High School - Los Gatos CA
    This 24' x 9' egg tempera mural "The Legend of New Almaden" by Clay Spohn was originally painted for this high school with support from the WPA Federal Art Project. It was then variously moved, cut into smaller pieces and put in storage before being restored and returned to Los Gatos HS. There is a fascinating account of the controversy surrounding the legend depicted in the mural in this interview with the artist: https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/oralhistories/transcripts/spohn64.htm
