Bendigo Art Gallery has announced the inclusion of two more of Frida Kahlo’s particularly significant works in its upcoming exhibition, Frida Kahlo: In her own image, which will open in March next year. The exhibition is an international exclusive with works transported directly from Mexico’s Museo Frida Kahlo located in the artist’s hometown of Coyoacán.

Jessica Bridgfoot, Director of Bendigo Art Gallery, says, “We are so thankful to the Harry Ransom Center for lending this spectacular painting, which will be displayed for the first time alongside two special items from Kahlo’s home, which appear in the painting, identified by the expert staff of La Casa Azul.”
