Finding Frida Kahlo

Awhile back I did a post on Self Portrait in a Velvet Dress which detailed dozens of pieces from Frida's wardrobe that had been locked away for over half a century. Well, what that book did for her clothes, this book Finding Frida Kahlo does for her trunks, correspondence, diaries, receipes and "so much more". A fascinating view of Frida ephemera that also was hidden since the 1950's. For those of us who can't get enough of Frida - this one's a real find.
