"Frida Kahlo - Her Photos" at The Museum of The SouthWest, Midland - Texas, US
25 August 2022 | 20 November 2022For the first time in Texas, it will be possible to see a treasure of images previously locked away in the Kahlo estate archives.
It was only in the 2003 that the archive was opened and all the documents together with over 6.500 photos were revealed and studied. Pablo Ortiz Monasterio, Mexican photographer and photo historian, is the curator of this exhibition and he selected the 241 photographs included in it.
The photographs range from her youth to adulthood, portraying Kahlo in happy and hard times, and reveal her deep love of photography.
The exhibition is divided into five sections: 1. The Origins, 2. The Blue House, 3. Politics, Revolutions and Diego, 4. Her Broken Body, and 5. Frida's Loves and Photography.The exhibition will feature 240 photos from more than 6,500 from the archive of the Blue House - la Casa Azul - the Mexico City home where Kahlo grew up and where she and Rivera lived from 1929 until her death in 1954. Rivera donated the home and its contents in 1958, and it was turned into a museum in Kahlo's honor.
Address: 1705 W Missouri Ave, Midland
