These serigraphs, originally from the folio and all the serigraphs have all the same number out of the limited edition of 100.
My estate got these circa late 1980's while in Mexico performing and was gifted these from a close friend.
The original owner must have gotten these from UNAM, which these limited edition folios were created to sell to raise money for this amazing institution, circa 1972

Gunther Gerzso (June 17, 1915 – April 21, 2000) was a Mexican painter, designer and director and screenwriter for film and theatre.

Bio:
UNAM: National Autonomous University of Mexico
UNAM's campus is a UNESCO World Heritage site that was designed by some of Mexico's best-known architects of the 20th century. Murals in the main campus were painted by some of the most recognized artists in Mexican history, such as Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
UNAM founded, in its modern form, on 22 September 1910 by Justo Sierra as a liberal alternative to its predecessor, the Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico. UNAM obtained its autonomy from the government in 1929. This has given the university the freedom to define its own curriculum and manage its own budget without interference from the government.
UNAM was the birthplace of the student movement of 1968, which turned into a nationwide rebellion against autocratic rule and began Mexico's three-decade journey toward democracy.
