Title	El Nuevo fuego (The New fire), Los Angeles, 1985
Description	El Nuevo fuego (The New fire), 1985, Victor Clothing Company, exterior facing northeast, 240 South Broadway (between 2nd and 3rd Streets).

The most prominent portraits are those of local 1984 Olympic gold medal-winning athletes Paul Gonzalez (boxing) and Valerie Briscoe-Hooks (track). Also included are Greg Louganis (diving), Ernesto Canto (50 km walk), and Pierre Vignon (pole vault). East Los Streetscapers. Designed by Wayne Healy, David Botello, George Yepes. Assisted by Rudy Calderon, Bob Grigas, David Morin, Paul Botello. Acrylic on masonry, 80' x 85'. -- Dunitz, Street gallery, p. 46, #69.
