"Here's another book about Frida Kahlo, and this one doesn't
feature even a single original painting. What it does contain are
encounters with her- curious, moving, or just fun - from around the
world. From Frida fashion dolls to little clay Friditas, all of us
at some point have encountered the countless souvenirs, images and
mementos that reinvent the great Mexican artist, and keep her alive
in popular memory. Her own painting was steeped in Mexican folk
art, and the connection has turned out to be curiously reciprocal.
Popular artists - not just in Mexico but around the world - have
been inspired by her life, art, and persona, to come up with
extraordinary and at times very curious tributes to her. The ways
in which she is repeatedly re-labeled and re-invented is
unprecedented in the world of art. Is this global appropriation of
Frida as an icon - Fridamania - just commercial kitsch? Or is there
another way of thinking about the phenomenon? Featuring a
staggering variety of Frida objects, images and mementoes in every
conceivable material, this book traces some of the trails that
Frida herself laid... a legacy which allows people to create their
own countless versions of her. "
