Thank you for asking about this! Here's what our curator has to say:

Lola Álvarez Bravo took countless photographs of Frida Kahlo. And, in fact, it was Lola who organized Frida Kahlo’s first and only solo exhibition in Mexico City in 1953, at her Gallery of Modern Art. Frida was already very ill and had to be taken to the opening by ambulance, but she didn’t want to miss this event. She stayed there for several hours, talking to everyone while lying in a bed. She would die shortly thereafter, in 1954.

In this video, you can hear Lola Álvarez Bravo describe how the opening of this exhibition went [in Spanish]: https://t.co/EsNXvEckPK

Lola Álvarez Bravo maintained friendships with a community of artists, including Frida Kahlo. 🎨

Kahlo and Álvarez Bravo shared a particularly close relationship, perhaps because of their turbulent marriages and limited female role models in their respective fields.
