This exhibition is made possible by NEH on the Road, a special initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Frida Kahlo’s Garden is adapted from the exhibition, FRIDA KAHLO: ART, GARDEN, LIFE, organized by guest curator Adriana Zavala at The New York Botanical Garden. It was made possible with major funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Karen Katen Foundation, The LuEsther T. Mertz Charitable Trust, MetLife Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, and Gillian and Robert Steel. It was adapted and toured for NEH on the Road by the Mid-America Arts Alliance. The Yampa River Botanic Park will host a live garden installation for the Frida Kahlo exhibit that showcases the plants Frida cultivated in her garden. The plants will be potted in traditional terra cotta pots as she would have had at her home. The plants will be labeled with US and Mexican common names and the scientific names. Examples include Sunflower/Girasol/Helianthus annuus; Dahlia/Dalia/Dahlia sp.; Agave/Maguey/Agave americana; and Bougainvillea/Bugambilia/Bouganvillea sp. These colorful flowers and interesting textures inspired Frida’s work and will complement the art installation.
