Frida Kahlo's 'Most Personal Work' Comes to Town

City Cast Chicago

It’s the first time in more than 40 years that works by Mexico’s most well-known artist are on display in the Chicago area. And you won’t see “Frida Kahlo: Timeless” at one of the major museums in the city. It’s actually at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art at the College of DuPage in suburban Glen Ellyn. The process of securing some of Kahlo’s “most personal work” was a long one, starting with a well-connected donor of the community college, and a willingness to do what had to be done to make sure the museum was up to snuff to show works that are literally considered national treasures in Mexico.

Guests:

Diana Martinez, Director, McAninch Arts Center at College of DuPage

Adriana Jaramillo, Communications Director, Museo Dolores Olmedo
