About
The exhibition showcases the work of José and Tomás Chávez Morado, artist brothers from Guanajuato, Mexico, who created the world-famous fountain, El Paraguas, for the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City in 1964. Four years later, the brothers produced a half-scale version of the fountain for the entry court of Sunnylands, the winter estate of media magnate Walter Annenberg and his wife, Leonore, in Rancho Mirage, California.
