When I received the package explaining the Complete Frida Kahlo - TopicsExpress



          

When I received the package explaining the Complete Frida Kahlo exhibit at Liberty Station I had some issues. The exhibit is showing replicas of Kahlos artworks painted by hired Chinese artisans. I looked at some of the images closely and they just were not the same. I guess people dont have a problem since they see it as promoting her work and life and approved by the Trust/Foundation Frida Kahlo in Mexico. But what would you think of an exhibit of replicas of Picasso paintings, painted by artisans and sold as the COMPLETE PICASSO, with the excuse that since you cant get all the Picassos in the world you have to make the copies? As a Museum Studies professor I just cant approve of this exhibition. Sorry, if the intentions were good. This UT Enlace article is in Spanish if you want to read
