Chicago has something interesting to look forward to in the coming year, as remarkable Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's greatest works are planned to be exhibited in the summer of 2020.

Dubbed, "Frida Kahlo 2020", the much-anticipated exhibit will reportedly feature the massive collection of the legendary Mexican artist's work that spanned 40 years. It will include Kahlo's 26 original pieces borrowed from the Museo Dolores Olmedo in Mexico City. Remezcla reports that the works revolve around themes of pain, politics and love-which Kahlo is widely known for today.

The works which will be featured in Frida Kahlo 2020 comes in a variety of pieces, including those inspired by the events which drastically changed her life such as being afflicted with polio, her bus accident, her frequent relapses of pain, as well as her passionate married life with fellow Mexican artist, Diego Rivera. Remezcla reports that the works revolve around themes of pain, politics and love-which Kahlo is famous for today.

Hosted by Cleve Carney Museum of Art and the McAninch Arts Center in partnership with the College of DuPage, Frida Kahlo 2020 will not only feature Kahlo's famed art exhibit; there will also be reproductions of the painter's clothing, a multimedia timeline of her life, a video presentation and a poetry garden.

Justin Witte, Cleve Carney Museum of Art Director and exhibition curator said that the unique collection of works is deeply tied to Kahlo's personal narrative which covers an arc of her life and career.

Born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón, Frida Kahlo's father was German of Hungarian descent and her mother was of Spanish, Mexican, and Native American descent. During her childhood, she suffered polio, a chronic ailment that left her with a slight limp. Growing up, Kahlo developed a close relationship with her father, a professional photographer. Kahlo frequently assisted him in his studio which explains how she acquired a sharp eye for detail.

The artist has made a name in pop culture and is often identified as a Surrealist due to her uncompromising and vibrant self-portraits as well as her strong political statements, not to mention her most recognizable physical traits and remarkable sense of fashion. She is often featured with her statement mustache, her unibrow, her hair braided into a crown and adorned with colorful flowers, and her bold, vibrant clothing. Even as she passed away at the age of 47 in 1954, she left behind a public persona that has been widely referenced in movies, fashion, cafés, restaurants, street murals, soaps and other miscellaneous items, which has transcended the generations.

The exhibition is set to open at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art in the month of June next year. For those who are interested in visiting the gallery, tickets will be available at the museum on December 7 and online and via phone on December 10. For timed entry, tickets will be available for $18 and for the untimed entry, passes will be sold at $35.
