Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving, the largest U.S. exhibition in ten years devoted to the ledgendary artist, Frida Kahlo, is headed to the Brooklyn Museum. The exhibit is the first in the United States to display a collection of her personal possessions from the Casa Azul (Blue House), the Kahlo’s lifelong home in Mexico City.
After Kahlo’s death in 1954, her husband, muralist Diego Rivera, instructed that their personal belongings be locked away at the Blue House, not to be touched until 15 years after Rivera’s death. In 2004, these items were unearthed and inventoried.
“We are absolutely thrilled to feature such an iconic and globally recognized artist in one of her largest exhibitions in New York City to date,” Anne Pasternak, Shelby White and Leon Levy Director, Brooklyn Museum, said in a statement. “Focused on the life and work of Frida Kahlo, the show comes at an important time, when it is critical to build cultural bridges between the United States and Mexico.”
