Frida: The Making of an Icon is devoted to the life and legacy of Frida Kahlo. The fascinating exhibition features works of art not only by the legendary Mexican artist but also by artists she inspired. Practically unknown to mainstream audiences during her lifetime (1907–1954), Kahlo has been enshrined since the mid-1970s as the only female artist whose instant audience recognition and mass appeal rival those of male artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol.
