Overview
Two of the greatest artists in history, who happened to have one of the most volatile relationships in recent memory, are the focus of the Art Gallery of New South Wales' brand new exhibition, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
Kahlo and Rivera's artistic and personal rollercoaster ride is the focus, with 33 artworks from the pair — including self-portrait paintings, drawings and canvases — all from the renowned collection of Jacques and Natasha Gelman. Alongside these works will be approximately 50 photographs by the likes of Edward Weston, Lola Alvarez Bravo and Frida's father, Guillermo Kahlo, so you can take a peek into the pair's intimate world. Australia doesn't actually have a Frida Kahlo on public display, so this is one heck of a slam dunk for the gallery.
The exhibition will also be part of the Gallery's ever-popular Art After Hours. For three Wednesday nights from June 29 until July 13, you'll be able to swing by the Gallery for a full Frida fest. As well as an after-hours walk through the exhibition, you'll be able to make your own Frida-esque Mexican paper flowers in a workshop with Melissa Hernandez and attend a range of talks on the exhibition. They'll even be a mariachi band playing to complete the experience.
This exhibition is expected to be hella popular, so make sure you book a timed ticket before you go to avoid mass disappointment.
