Summary |
Frida Kahlo, die herausragende Künstlerin mit Kultstatus, war mit ihren ungewöhnlichen Selbstinszenierungen schon zu Lebzeiten stets für Sensationen gut. Auch die grosse Werkschau in Berlin und Wien stellt in ihrer Grösse und ihrem Facettenreichtum eine Sensation dar. Ungewöhnliche Einblicke versprechen ausserdem Fotografien aus dem Familienbesitz, die von Cristina Kahlo, Fridas Grossnichte, zusammengestellt wurden und zum Teil erstmals dem Publikum zugänglich gemacht werden. Ausstellungen: Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin: 30. April - 9. August 2010; Bank Austria Kunstforum, Wien: 1. September - 5. Dezember 2010. |
