Photo exhibition of Frida Kahlo’s personal archive opens in Budapest!
Budapest’s Mai Mano museum of photography is mounting an exhibition entitled Frida Kahlo – Her Photos from Friday.
The collection of 241 previously unpublished photos showing various periods in the Mexican artist’s life and the people important to her is showing for the first time in Budapest, Perla Labarthe Alvarez, the director of Mexico City’s Frida Kahlo Museum, told journalists today.
After Frida’s death in 1954, her artist husband, Diego Rivera donated their house in Mexico City, known as the Blue House, to the Mexican people, devoted to Frida’s life and work.
Frida’s “personal archive” of more than 6,000 photographs, as well as drawings, letters, medicines and clothes, was shut away from the public for five decades.
The exhibition running in Budapest until 12 January shows a collection of the newly found photos after the opening of that archive in 2003.
