PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

Frida Kahlo's haunting art often explores two subjects: the first, her turbulent relationship with Communist muralist Diego Rivera; the second is her home country, Mexico. Aside from stints in the United States and Europe, she spent most of her life in the Blue House in Coyoacan, a leafy neighbourhood in the south of Mexico City. It was here she was born, learned to paint while recovering from a traumatic accident, lived on and off with Diego and died, aged just 47, leaving behind 200 works that weave together Surrealism, fantasy and folklore. In this guide we chart Kahlo's time in this vast metropolis, from childhood to death, taking in life-altering events such as a tram accident that left her bedridden for years, to her first glimpse of Diego. Through 35 entries, we gain insight into Kahlo's life and work and the inspiration she found in the city of her birth.
