Exhibition | Frida Kahlo The CUBE, Holon

Millions of people have seen the international Frida Kahlo exhibition. Widely praised and presented in more than 30 countries, the show is now coming to Israel as well. Iconic Mexican painter Frida Kahlo was a trailblazing artist whose influence runs deep in contemporary art and fashion. The exhibition sprawls across 1000 m 2 and tells the story of Kahlo’s life through digital reproductions of her work, upon which quotes and color patterns are projected, while visitors are immersed in light and sound as they walk through them. Though Kahlo exhibited her works only once during her lifetime, she has posthumously become one of the world’s most celebrated artists. Still today, her story remains as relevant and powerful as ever. Until August 31 st
