Frida Kahlo new exhibition “I don’t pain my dreams” in Baden-Baden
Frida Kahlo at Kunstmuseum Gehrke-Remund, Baden-Baden
“I don’t paint my dreams” is the title of the 6th Frida Kahlo exhibition organized and curated by the Kunstmuseum Gehrke-Remund in Baden-Baden; after three years of US tour the exhibition will open in Baden-Baden on February 3rd 2018.
The exhibition delivers exactly what the title says by recreating Frida Kahlo’s reality, not her dreams, but her world as she perceived it, and as she wanted the observers to see it.
Based on over 35 years of Frida Kahlo studies, Dr. Remund and Mr. Gehrke are showing Frida Kahlo paintings never before seen in Europe, vintage photos, historical videos and large format photos of Frida Kahlo. The exhibition surface of the museum has been extended to host the more than 100 replica paintings, and overall over 400 exhibits.
A Mexican environment has been recreated with the museum collection of Mexican retablos and Alebrijes, fantastic animals created in the 30’s in Mexico.
The exhibition can be followed by means of a catalogue in 4 languages that reveals the background and secrets behind each painting and allows the visitors to be part of Frida Kahlo’s state of mind and world.
The Kunstmsueum is the only institution in the world that received the authorization from Mexico to replicate all the paintings of Frida Kahlo. The replica-paintings are hand painted by master artists, and the only difference with the originals is the label on the back of each painting: “Licensed replica from ©Banco de México Diego Rivera & Frida Kahlo Museums Trust / VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2008”.
The exhibition will last from February 3rd to May 1st 2018.
