Hear from Caitlin Haskell, Gary C. and Frances Comer Senior Curator in Modern and Contemporary Art, for an exclusive look into "Frida Kahlo’s Month in Paris: A Friendship with Mary Reynolds."

This exhibition—the Art Institute’s first presentation of Kahlo’s work—focuses on her month-long stay at the home of Mary Reynolds, an avant-garde bookbinder best known today as Marcel Duchamp’s partner. Drawing upon the extensive Mary Reynolds Collection at the Art Institute of Chicago and extraordinary Kahlo loans from public and private collections in the U.S., Mexico, and Europe, we tell this story with unrivaled accuracy, presenting Kahlo among a cast of characters that included not only Reynolds and Duchamp, but also Man Ray, Constantin Brancusi, and others. Shedding light on a little-known chapter of 20th-century art history, the exhibition recounts the legacy of two women navigating identity, partnership, and cross-cultural exchange on the eve of World War II.

Programming for "Frida Kahlo’s Month in Paris: A Friendship with Mary Reynolds" is made possible by the Frank J. Mooney Memorial Fund.
