Frida's works on view at the Albuquerque Museum, New Mexico, starting from next 6th of February
30 January 2021
Among the works featured in the "Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism" exhibition, coming from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman collection, we find: Kahlo’s Autorretrato con Monos (Self Portrait with Monkeys), 1943, Diego en mi Pensamiento (Diego on My Mind), 1943, Rivera’s Autorretrato (Self-Portrait), 1930, and Retratro de Natasha Gelman (Portrait of Natasha Gelman), 1943.
The Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection is known for its significant holdings of work by Kahlo. The collection was established in 1941 by Jacques Gelman (1909-1986), a successful filmmaker, and his wife, Natasha (1912-1998), two Eastern European immigrants who met and married in Mexico City, before becoming Mexican citizens in 1942. The couple was passionate about the art and culture of their new homeland, becoming devoted art patrons and establishing close friendships with Kahlo, Rivera, and many of their contemporaries.
