Frida Kahlo’s Month in Paris: A Friendship with Mary Reynolds at the Art Institute of Chicago

Looks like this event has already taken place.

Sat, Mar 29 – Wed, Jul 30, 2025

111 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60603

Unveiling Frida Kahlo’s work for the first time in the Art Institute galleries, this exhibition focuses on the celebrated Mexican artist’s first and only trip to Europe and her brief yet pivotal encounter with Mary Reynolds.

Drawing upon the extensive Mary Reynolds Collection at the Art Institute of Chicago and extraordinary Kahlo loans from public and private collections in the US, Mexico, and Europe, the presentation sheds light on this little-known chapter of 20th-century art history, recounting the legacies of Kahlo and Reynolds—both artists themselves and partners of artists—as they navigated Surrealism, identity, and cross-cultural exchange on the eve of World War II.
