Frida: Beyond the Myth

Extended through February 23, 2025.

Coinciding with the 70th anniversary of Frida Kahlo's death, the DMA presents
Frida: Beyond the Myth. Composed of over 60 works across media—paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs—the exhibition
will explore the life of one of the 20th century’s most well-documented artists, one who continues to elude our understanding of her as an individual.

Taking a chronological approach, this exhibition will lift the veil of myth surrounding Kahlo by delving deeper into the defining moments of her life and how she embedded symbolic motifs in her self-portraits and still lifes to cryptically express her emotive reactions to major events. These works will be supplemented with photographs of Kahlo by the friends and fellow artists who knew her best, capturing the vulnerability and sensuality that still compel us today.

Artists in the exhibition are Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Guillermo Kahlo, Guillermo Dávila, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Imogen Cunningham, Lucienne Bloch, Julien Levy, Dora Maar, Sylvia Salmi, Nickolas Muray, Lola Àlvarez Bravo, Florence Arquin, and Bernice Kolko.

$20 special exhibition, free for children; $35 for bundle includes specialty bites and a beverage from the DMA Cafe. The DMA Store will feature Kahlo-inspired merchandise throughout the run of the show, with unique wares direct from Mexican artisans.
