Not only is it huge, it is the largest exhibit ever opened in celebration of the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

Mexico City is currently hosting the exhibit on the life and work of Frida Kahlo at the Palacio de Bellas Artes Museum (Museum of the Fine Arts Palace), as one of the many events organized to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the artist’s birth on July 6, 1907.

Visitors to the exhibit will be able to admire paintings, drawings, photographs, letters and documents by and about the legendary Frida Kahlo. The exhibit’s organizers will display works on loan from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit, Miami and even Japan. It will be open through August 19.

President Felipe Calderon himself attended Wednesday night’s opening.

Visitors will have the opportunity to see newly discovered drawings by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, her husband and an artist in his own right. More than 100 drawings were found in a hidden room in La Casa Azul (The Blue House), where the couple used to live.

Frida and Diego Rivera married in 1929. He was at the time a renowned Mexican muralist. They were married until Frida’s death in 1954, but it was a stormy union, interrupted by a temporary divorce (followed with remarriage).

As a teenager, Frida was severely injured in a bus crash. She suffered great pains throughout the rest of her life and was unable to have children, although she would have liked to very much.

Frida has remained one of Mexico’s most revered artists.
