Frida Kahlo: Mexican artist’s myriad faces and powerful paintings

Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is remembered for her self-portraits, pain and passion, and bold, vibrant colors. She is celebrated in Mexico for her attention to Mexican and indigenous culture and by feminists for her depiction of the female experience and form. Kahlo did not sell many paintings in her lifetime, although she painted occasional portraits on commission. She had only one solo exhibition in Mexico in her lifetime, in 1953, just a year before her death at the age of 47.

Today, her works sell for very high prices. In May 2006, Frida Kahlo self-portrait, Roots, was sold for $5.62 million at a Sotheby’s auction in New York, sets a record as the most expensive Latin American work ever purchased at auction, and also makes Frida Kahlo one of the highest-selling woman in art.

Our Remix from a photo by Toni Frissell (Frida Kahlo during a photo shoot for Vogue magazine, 1937) would be an impressive addition to any custom collection, and surely a fantastic gift for those who enjoy a more subdued look and a less-is-more approach to their wall decor.
