About the Item

Circa 1940. We offer this Silver Gelatin Photo of the Diego Rivera Studio. In 1931, commissioned by Diego Rivera, Juan O'Gorman designed one of the first functionalist architectural structures in Latin America. This space would be a home-studio for Diego and another for Frida, the construction of which was completed in 1932. The couple would not live in the space until 1934, the year they returned to Mexico after a three-year stay in the United States. It was in this house that Frida created works that would later establish her as an artist: What the Water Gave Me, The Watchful Eye, and The Late Dimas. Six years later, Frida would return to her parents' house, the now famous Blue House in Coyoacán, in April 1941, due to the death of her father, Guillermo Kahlo, and would remain there until her death on July 14, 1954. Diego Rivera, for his part, lived in this house until November 24, 1957, the date of his death, and it was here that he would produce most of his easel work - around three thousand pieces - and would also house his collection of Judas and Skulls, as well as part of his collection of pre-Hispanic art and Mexican crafts. After Rivera's death, in April 1981, the INBA (National Institute of Fine Arts) was assigned custody of the property through the Federal Government for the purposes of promoting, organizing, and disseminating the Fine Arts for the benefit of Mexicans.
