New York Botanical Garden Will Recreate Frida Kahlo’s Garden

Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's native garden and studio will be reimagined at the New York Botanical Garden in the spring.

The garden will use flowers and plants native to Mexico in the exhibition "Frida Kahlo: Art, Garden, Life," which will open May 16 and run through Nov. 1.

The artist's first solo exhibition in New York City in more than 25 years will reflect the bright colors and textures of Kahlo's portraits and still lifes.

It will feature about a dozen original paintings and drawings highlighting her use of botanical imagery. Photos of Kahlo and her husband . . .
