While New York and Paris dedicated Magdalena del Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón exhibitions in 1938/39, her country appreciated her with an exhibition in Mexico City only in 1953, one year before she died. The current exhibition in Berlin shows nearly 150 drawings and paintings and is thus the most comprehensive show ever staged in Europe. It took curator Dr. Helga Prignitz-Poda three years to prepare this outstanding exhibition as most of Kahlo's work is owned by private persons and museums in Mexico and North America of whom no one owns more than one Kahlo. Frida Kahlo's grandniece Cristina Kahlo curates the photography part that shows impressions of Frida's life. The exhibition is organised by Berliner Festspiele and Kunstforum Wien/Bank Austria in cooperation with the Instituto Nacional de Ballas Artes (INBA) in Mexico.
We, being lovers of authenticity and individualism can only acknowledge Frida Kahlo and her work as being highly outstanding. Go, see and feel the power!
