Mural is a 1943 painting by the American artist Jackson Pollock, made with oil paint on linen and measuring 2.43 by 6.04 meters, Pollock's largest canvas. Although signed and dated 1943, the signature and date were not added until 1947, and the work was probably completed in the fall of 1943. It was commissioned by Peggy Guggenheim for the long entrance hall of her townhouse at 155 East 61st Street in New York City.
