Due to its incredible worldwide popularity RM offers a reprint of Frida Kahlo Her Photos.

This formidable collection, hidden for more than half a century, allows us to delve into the lives of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. This collection of photographic images is a treasure trove that reveals the tastes and interests of the famous couple.

When Frida Kahlo died, Diego Rivera, Frida's husband, asked the poet Carlos Pellicer to turn the Casa Azul into a museum so that the people of Mexico could visit it and admire the artist's work. Pellicer selected Frida's paintings that were in the house, as well as some drawings, photos, books and ceramics. The rest of the objects, clothes, documents, drawings, letters and more than six thousand photographs that Frida collected during her lifetime were kept in storage.

This collection of photographic images reveals the tastes and interests of the famous couple, not only in what the images say but also in the annotations in the margins and allows for speculation about their phobias and attractions; it is even possible to document their family origins. In Frida's collection there is a list of great photographers: Man Ray, Brassaï, Martin Munkacsi, Pierre Verger, George Hurrel, Tina Modotti, Edward Weston, Manuel and Lola Álvarez Edward Weston, Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Gisèle Freund and many others, including Frida Kahlo herself.
