How much a Frida Kahlo painting is worth depends on its historical significance, size, condition and other factors. In 2021, a self-portrait that she produced in 1949 entitled Diego y yo sold for $34.9 million, then the highest selling price of any artwork by a Latin American artist. A Mexican Surrealist painter, Kahlo produced many self-portraits over the course of her life. In her pieces, she used symbolism to reflect her physical and emotional state. Her work hangs in major museums around the world, and there is a museum dedicated solely to her, the Frida Kahlo Museum, in Mexico City. If you have a Kahlo piece, a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer can aid you with the valuation process for it. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Surrealist art.
