Today in History: Frida Kahlo Debuts First Exhibition in the United States at the Julien Levy Gallery
On November 1, 1938, Frida Kahlo had her first exhibition in the United
States at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York City. It was at this showing
that Frida met Clare Boothe Luce and was commissioned by her to paint
a beautiful portrait of the late Dorothy Donovan Hale. This commission
would inspire Frida to paint one of her most renowned and haunting works, ‘El Suicidio de Dorothy Hale’.
