Frida Kahlo: Through the Lens of Nickolas Muray
February 2, 2008 – March 30, 2008
Born in Hungary, Nickolas Muray became a successful New York fashion and commercial photographer known for his portraits of celebrities. Having experimented with color in his work from early on, he found his most colorful model in Frida Kahlo, whom he met in Mexico in 1931. Muray’s photographs of Kahlo celebrate her deep interest in her Mexican heritage, her life, and the people significant to her. This exhibition is comprised of approximately 50 photographic portraits of Frida Kahlo dating mostly from 1937 to 1941.
Frida Kahlo: Through the Lens of Nickolas Muray is on view courtesy of the collection of the Nickolas Muray Archives. Tour Development by Smith Kramer Fine Art Services, Kansas City, Missouri.
