A Modern Mexican Artist in New York
S1 E3 - 1m 55s
Frida Kahlo becomes the talk of New York when she presents some of the most shocking paintings at her first solo art exhibition in November 1938. Virtually unknown in the city other than being famed muralist Diego Rivera’s wife, she makes a name for herself with the quality of her work. Art historians Luis-Martín Lozano and Gannit Ankori tell the story.
