Lonely Planet review for Historia de México

The large Abelardo Rodríguez public market, east of the Zócalo, became a canvas for a group of young international artists in the 1930s under the tutelage of Diego Rivera (he paid them 13.5 pesos per square meter). One of the most intriguing (and best preserved) works, created by Japanese artist Isama Noguchi, is a dynamic three-dimensional mural sculpted of cement and plaster that symbolizes the struggle against fascism. It’s located in the community center, upstairs from the northeast corner of the market.
