Frida Kahlo's life in photographs

Honestly, who wouldn't want to see 401 of the best pictures from Frida Kahlo's private archive of more than 6,000 photographs? As we ease our way into Women's History Month, we are delighted to have this staff favorite 524-page hardcover photo collection back in stock after months of waiting. From Kahlo's sometimes harrowing self-portraits to the many gorgeous and revealing portraits taken of her by artists, friends, lovers and family, to photographs of the important people in her life—including her father, mother, Diego Rivera, Marcel Duchamp, Edward Weston, Georgia O'Keeffe, André Breton, Isamu Noguchi, Dolores del Rio, Tina Modotti, Alfred Stieglitz, Gisele Freund and Leon Trotsky, to name a fraction, each of these photographs is a fascinating document. Bonus: many are inscribed, incised, or decorated with lipstick kisses. Featured here is a 1946 photograph of Kahlo in her New York hospital bed by sometimes-lover Nickolas Muray.
