Frida Kahlo

After perusing the Ferry Plaza Market, we headed over to SFMOMA for a retrospective of Frida Kahlo's work, assembled in honor of the 100th year since her birth. The exhibit was quite impressive--I'll admit, I haven't really seen much of her work, but it was enjoyable. The crowds, however, were not. The gallery space was clearly much too small to accomodate the throngs of people eager to view the exhibit. Despite using timed-entry tickets, we felt it was much too crowded. The part of the exhibit I found most interesting was a collection of hundreds of snapshots and photographs that Kahlo collected over her lifetime--many showing candid moments from her life, including her marriage to Diego Rivera, perhaps the best-known Mexican artist of the period.
