Brooklyn Museum trains the spotlight on Frida Kahlo

Fans of Frida Kahlo in New York have a huge reason to rejoice, for the Brooklyn Museum has its spotlight focussed on the artist. Yes, the museum will be hosting an exhibition titled Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving, which is also the largest exhibition in the States on Frida. Also on display are her personal artefacts, including Kahlo Tehuana’s clothing, jewelry, work from Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection of 20th Century Mexican Art.

An iconic painter from Mexico, Frida Kahlo still enjoys a following that can make any artist envious. Her work has a very impressive folk art style and revolves around identity, post-colonialism, gender, race and more. Her self-portraits are pretty much a rage in contemporary times, and one can easily find her traces in places as diverse as some wall art in Cuba, a chic cafe in Santorini, a taxi in Mumbai, or on the walls of a plush quarter in Paris. Yes, that is how impressive Frida’s work is. If you are also a fan of this legend, this exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum is where you need to be. Quite a long event, it will be on till May 12, 2019, and has fans from all over the world converging over. Visitors can choose from timed as well as untimed tickets, and both can be bought online on Showclix. Those keen on attending special talks and members-only events, can also book the same online.
