“Frida Kahlo, Xochimilco, Mexico” by Rosa Covarrubias, 1941
Visionary artist Frida Kahlo led a fascinating life that continues to captivate the public’s imagination. A new exhibition in New York City gives a deeper insight into all aspects of her life by showing about 50 photographs of the artist. FRIDA KAHLO, Forever yourson view at Throckmorton Fine Art, moves from her early photographs taken by family members to her iconic portraits by Nickolas Muray.
Along the way we see her creative process as she poses in front of paintings, as well as intimate moments from her private life with her husband and fellow artist Diego Rivera. The photographs, which document her life from the time she was a toddler until shortly before her death, are just a small part of Spencer Throckmorton’s massive collection.
Throckmorton has been collecting photos of Kahlo since the 1970s, when he traveled to Mexico City in search of images of the iconic artist. Since then, his collection has grown to over 200 photographs, making it one of the most complete private collections documenting Kahlo’s life.
To round off the exhibition, the gallery has also placed several drawings, an original gouache and a T-shirt worn by the artist. This helps complete the visual biography of one of the most influential artists of the 21st century.
FRIDA KAHLO, Forever yours is on view at Throckmorton Fine Art in Manhattan through September 21, 2024.
