Claire Wilcox and Circe Henestrosa’s Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up presents a unique window into the artist’s life.
 
Frida Kahlo (1907–1954), as an artist and a woman, has a unique international appeal. Her instantly recognizable work draws extensively on her life and her extraordinarily personal reflections upon it.
 
On Kahlo’s death, her husband, Diego Rivera (1886–1957), ordered that her most private possessions be locked away until 15 years after his death. The bathroom in which her belongings were stored in fact remained unopened until 2004. Through this incredible archive, Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up focuses on the personal, combining her prosthetics, jewelry, and clothes with self-portraits, diary entries, and letters to build an intimate portrait of the artist through her possessions, setting this in the context of her political and social beliefs.


 

Anmeldelser av Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up:

"Claire Wilcox and Circe Henestrosa... have masterminded a celebration of the artist's style." Karen Dacre, Evening Standard
"Whatever your preconceptions about Kahlo, it's hard to leave this show unimpressed by her huge resilience, and without feeling just a little in love with this extraordinary woman." Mark Hudson, Daily Telegraph
"Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up is a larger version of the inaugural viewing of the Casa Azul stash that took place in Mexico City earlier this year. It is intimate and epic in scale, the juxtapositioning of artworks with the items that appear in them here some jewellery, there a headdress compelling." Anna Murphy, The Times
"an extraordinary testimony to suffering and spirit" The Observer
"A room of her personal belongings, which had been sealed since her death, was opened, and its contents put on display at the Blue House it is a real coup for the V&A to be able to borrow this collection." Jess Cartner-Morley, The Guardian
