One of the most significant artists in art history

The paintings of Frida Kahlo, Mexico’s most famous painter, have shaped art history like few other works. In more than fifty powerful self-portraits, she captured her unmistakable face, which continues to inspire generations to this day. Her works, accompanied by iconic photographs by renowned artists such as Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and Martin Munkácsi, made her an icon of the 20. century. Frida Kahlo was not only an outstanding artist but also a central figure of Mexican modernism and a pioneer in the areas of gender equality, sexuality, and feminism. Drawings, diary entries, and a comprehensively illustrated biography offer intimate insights into her life, her relationship with Diego Rivera, and her home, the legendary Casa Azul.
