Claire Wilcox and Circe Henestrosas Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up presents a unique window into the artists life.Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), as an artist and a woman, has a unique international appeal. Her instantly recognizable work draws extensively on her life and her extraordinarily personal reflections upon it.On Kahlos death, her husband, Diego Rivera (1886-1957), ordered that her most private possessions be locked away until 15 years after his death. The bathroom in which her belongings were stored in fact remained unopened until 2004. Through this incredible archive, Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up focuses on the personal, combining her prosthetics, jewelry, and clothes with self-portraits, diary entries, and letters to build an intimate portrait of the artist through her possessions, setting this in the context of her political and social beliefs.
- Offers a fresh perspective on the life story of Frida Kahlo | Includes specially-commissioned photographs | An unprecedented pairing that is enriched by iconic images taken in her lifetime
