Frida Kahlo’s Self-Portrait Is About To Shatter Records At Nearly $60 Million

Her life and art were inseparable, almost like a living painting: her experiences, her love for Diego Rivera, and her suffering all flowed into her work, and back again.

Her self-portraits, like The Two Fridas and Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, made the world sit up and take notice, mixing surrealism, folk art, and raw emotion in a way no one had seen before. By the time the Louvre bought one of her works in 1939, Frida was already breaking boundaries, and decades later, her paintings continue to captivate collectors, fans, and art lovers everywhere.
