NEW YORK — Nearly 70 years after her death, the world’s fascination with Frida Kahlo continues to flourish — generating popular culture conversations in ways the groundbreaking Mexican artist would likely not even understand.
That includes exhibitions chronicling her life and work; an upcoming Broadway musical exploring the artist’s intercontinental career; and even the alleged burning of an estimated $10 million Frida Kahlo drawings as part of an NFT launch, which has sparked a criminal investigation by Mexican authorities.
Now, a new Brooklyn exhibition described as an “immersive biography” of the artist is giving viewers the opportunity to not only admire Kahlo’s unique work — but feel like they’re part of it.
