We are thrilled with the announcement that the work of the most dynamic duo in the history of 20th century painting and culture, Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) and Diego Rivera (1886-1957) will be at the AGO this year in October. It will be a major exhibit, titled “Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics and Painting”, showcasing 75 of the works by both Kahlo and Rivera. The show will open on October 20, 2012 and will continue until January 20, 2013.
Fun fact: During an interview for an article Frida, referring to Rivera of whom she was 20 years younger, said “he does pretty well for a little boy, but it is I who am the big artist.”
