Frida Kahlo's first solo exhibition in 1953, held at Galería Arte Contemporaneo in Mexico City, was a defining moment in her career. Despite her severe health issues, Kahlo arrived by ambulance and spent the event lying in a bed placed in the gallery. This powerful image of her, surrounded by her deeply autobiographical works, highlighted the personal sacrifices she made for her art. The exhibition was one of the few times Kahlo received public recognition during her life, cementing her legacy as a major artist. She passed away a year later, leaving a profound artistic and cultural impact.
