About the Item

Frida with Idol by Nickolas Muray depicts Mexican painter Frida Kahlo posing while holding a green stone carved idol in her hand. She stands in front of a bright blue wall, contrasting with the magenta flowers in her hair. Edition 22/30 Carbon pigment print Paper size: 17 1/2 x 22 in., Image size: 11 x 15 3/4 in. Titled, dated, numbered, and signed by Nickolas Muray's Estate Nickolas Muray Photo Archives "Muray and Kahlo were at the height of their on-again, off-again, ten-year relationship when these pictures were taken. Their affair had started in 1931, after Muray was divorced from his second wife, and shortly after Kahlo’s marriage to Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. It outlived Muray’s third marriage, and Kahlo’s divorce and remarriage to Rivera, by one year, ending in 1941. They remained good friends until her death in 1954." from Nickolas Muray Photo Archives
