Exclusive late-night access to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera: Art and Life in Modern Mexico
Level 1
6–9pm
Come face to face with one of the 20th century’s most recognisable cultural icons in this remarkable exhibition. Through Frida Kahlo’s paintings and drawings, the work of her husband, Diego Rivera, and leading artists in their circle, discover an extraordinary story of art, love and life in modern Mexico.
From Frida’s inward exploration of personal identity to Diego’s outward interest in national history and politics, learn why the pair became two of Mexico’s most celebrated and inspiring personalities. Through more than 150 artworks, including Frida’s intimate self-portraits and Diego’s paintings of Mexican life, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera: Art and Life in Modern Mexico reveals how the artists played a crucial role in defining a new art following the Mexican Revolution.
Our recommended viewing time for the exhibition is 60 minutes. Please note that due to exhibition capacities you may be required to queue for entry.
The exhibition is organised by the Vergel Foundation and MondoMostre in collaboration with the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura. It is proudly supported by Craigs, AUT, as well as Omnigraphics, with special thanks to the Auckland Art Gallery Foundation.
