Casa Kahlo was more than a second home—it was a place where Frida could truly be herself away from the house she shared with her husband, the artist Diego Rivera. The house also served as an additional studio space for Kahlo where she taught art classes to a legion of loyal students who referred to themselves as Los Fridos. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRemarkably, Casa Kahlo has been occupied by Frida’s family since they bought the house in 1930.

Hundreds of personal items offer an intimate view into her artistic environment and personal life: from her early drawings and paintings (including the first painting she showed Rivera at eighteen years old) to later drawings; her distinctive jewelry and clothing; key documents, including her birth and marriage certificates; artworks; and keepsakes ranging from dolls to her taxidermy butterfly collection.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWritten by her closest family members, the book presents a very fresh and deeply personal perspective on the artist’s life, enriched by their unique connection to her legacy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover, 256 pages, 2026.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9.3 x 11.3 in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47369341927602,"sku":"978-0847875573","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/8155\/9218\/files\/Casa-Kahlo-Frida-Kahlos-Home-and-Sanctuary-cover_1000x_915de674-b2d5-48de-8e2f-d0fb22d04fbe.jpg?v=1779312675"},{"product_id":"larry-sultan-water-over-thunder","title":"Larry Sultan: Water Over Thunder","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvent May 21, 2026 \u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'SFMOMA Text Offc',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sfmoma.org\/event\/larry-sultan-water-over-thunder-selected-writing-live\/\"\u003eLarry Sultan: Selected Writing Live\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLarry Sultan was one of the most important and celebrated photographers of the twentieth century, but his lifelong commitment to writing is less well known.
