About the Item

Len Prince and Jessie Mann embarked on a collaboration in which Mann assumed a range of guises that draw on historical persons and iconic images. Mann, the daughter and frequent subject for her mother, Sally Mann, felt compelled to explore the creative possibilities of self-fictionalization and she became the perfect muse for Prince, whose portraits of celebrities often reference “Old Hollywood” glamour and the power of transformation. While recovering from the bus accident that left her bedridden for months, Frida Kahlo would paint portraits of herself using a mirror that was attached to her canopy bed. "Frida lived surrounded by mirrors," said Lola Alverez Bravo, a Mexican photographer who documented Kahlo throughout her life. Kahlo had a mirror on the front of her wardrobe, next to her dressing table, and even on the wall of her outdoor patio. "I paint myself because I am often alone, and I am the subject I know best." - Frida Kahlo
