Purchased in 1939 at a Paris exhibition, The Frame hangs in the Centre Pompidou as the only painting by Frida Kahlo owned by a European museum. A remarkable fact considering the artists’ worldwide popularity.
The Frame consists of two parts: a self-portrait on an aluminum sheet, and an overlaid glass plate painted with stylistic birds and vibrant flowers. Kahlo repurposed the glass, which was likely intended for a mirror or photograph, after purchasing it from a market in Oaxaca, Mexico. Sliding one of the self-portraits for which she was known into the painted border, thus providing both the title and differentiating this work from her other portraits.
