"Many people know that Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist, a feminist icon who lived in the famous Blue House and whose work includes The Two Fridas. What, perhaps, they don't know is that 55 of her 143 artworks are self-portraits; that her painting Roots holds the record for a Latin American artwork, having sold for $5.6 million in 2006; that she married her husband twice; or that she arrived for her first solo exhibition in an ambulance. This book casts a modern eye over her life and work, with an array of irresistible facts and figures converted into infographics to reveal the artist behind the pictures."--ONIX annotation

Este libro le echa un ojo moderno a ella vida y trabajo, con una serie de hechos y cifras irresistibles convertidos en infografías para revelar al artista detrás de las imágenes "--Anotación ONIX
