Frida Kahlo’s Things: A Revealing New Exhibition at the Michael Hoppen Gallery

Arguably one of the most recognizable female artists of the 20th Century, Frida Kahlo has been the subject of movies, documentaries and exhibitions, trying to pin down the most minute facets of her life and creative process. However, when she passed away in 1954, her husband and fellow artist Diego Rivera demanded that her possessions were locked up in a room in her “Blue House” in Mexico City until fifteen years after her death. This treasure trove of Frida ephemera was reopened in 2004 and photographer Ishiuchi Miyako captured its contents.
