Upon Kahlo’s death in = 1954, more than 6,500 personal photographs and items belonging to her = and husband/artist Diego Rivera were sealed and put in storage. \;= For more than half a century this great collection of personal memora= bilia remained hidden from the public. \; In 2007 this collection = was opened and Mexican photographer and curator Pablo Ortiz Monasterio= inventoried and catalogued 240 images to create the Frida Kahlo: Her = Photos exhibition. \; =0D=0AThese images reveal a little-known si= de of the artist and lifelong resident of Coyoacán, a Mexico City subu= rb and Arlington, Virginia's sister city. The collection of photograph= s in this exhibition reflect Kahlo’s tastes and interests, the experie= nces she shared with those close to her, and her complicated, but also= thrilling, personal life. Viewers get an insider’s look, not only thr= ough who was behind the camera, in front of the lens or the anonymous = nature of some of the work but also through the annotated writing foun= d on the back of many of the photographs. =0D=0AFrom family pictures= and snapshots taken with lovers to images that reveal relationships w= ith Russian Marxist revolutionary Leon Trotsky and American photograph= ers Edward Weston, Alfred Stieglitz, artist Georgia O’Keefe and actres= s Dolores del Rio, this exhibition provides a glimpse into Kahlo as ne= ver seen before. Please note that in Diego Rivera's will, he specified= that the original=0D=0Aimages belonging to him and Frida Kahlo should= never leave Mexico. As=0D=0Asuch, the images on view in this exhibiti= on are carefully crafted=0D=0Areproductions. =0D=0AThis exhibition is= produced in collaboration with the Frida Kahlo Museum, The Embassy of= Mexico, the Mexican Cultural Institute, Arlington County and with add= itional support from the Rosslyn Business Improvement District.
