Frida Kahlo opens in Berlin
Frida Kahlo attained cult status through paintings that combined the colourful, cheerful culture of Mexico with the traumatic experiences of her own life. Although this made her the most famous female artist of the first half of the 20th century, in Germany her work has seldom been shown. Until nw. From April 30-August 9, over 120 paintings and drawings will be on display in the Martin-Gropius-Bau Museum in Berlin, which will be the most extensive exhibition of Frida Kahlo’s oeuvre to date.
Frida Kahlo’s artistic development from New Objectivity through Mexican Estridentism to Surrealism and her very own blend of Realism will be comprehensively presented. Plus, the art will be supplemented with a collection of photographs belonging to her family and friends. The loans come from Mexican private collections, North American museums and prominent collections in the US.
