Viva Frida! An homage to Frida Kahlo, July 13th – August 24th.

Posted on 21/06/201924/09/2019 by oscarvdvoorn

The Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is an icon that appeals to the imagination of many. Her turbulent, tragic life certainly contributes to that! Frida Kahlo is regarded in art history as one of the most important female artists of the 20th century. In her paintings she knew like no other how to connect her personal destiny with Mexican folk art, that was unique at the time! 30 artists have given their homage to this fantastic artist in their own way and in their own style.

The opening of Viva Frida! on July 13, 2019 celebrates the 65th death anniversary of the amazing Frida Kahlo.
The exhibition is on display until August 24th and is also part of the Art & Culture Pride.

Finally we moved to our brand new gallery, not far from where we were located for 20 years: Marnixstraat 127 in Amsterdam.
The new location is still in the Jordaan, but much easier to access with public transport from Central Station and all other directions of the city (bus & tram stop across the gallery). We’re very happy being in this great authentic neighbourhood and our fantastic neighbours of ‘Duende Dos’, the famous Spanish tapas restaurant on the corner of Nieuwe Willemsstraat.

Our first exhibition is ‘PINK with PRIDE’, our annual Amsterdam GayPride exhibition. This exhibition shows the works of some young international talents, opening on Saturday July 15, 5 – 8 pm.
You will be welcomed by the Brothers Grimm.

Chris Marmier shows his new collection ‘Every day people..’ a humorous view on peoples lives.
Giulia Pelizzaro Her artworks are mainly inspired by Street Art and doodle styles, she tells about ordinary situations towards contemporary lifestyles.

Peter Berlin, aka Baron Armin Hagen von Hoyningen-Huene (1942), has been for 3 decades, through the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s one of the worlds biggest gay icons.
His self-portraits, though which he created a brand new image of the masculine homosexual man, adorned the covers of countless gay magazines.

Peter Berlin’s solo show for Euro Pride will feature a stimulating collection of unique and hand edited vintage photographs and newer prints, where the artist portrays himself as the world’s first Selfie-photographer in erotic poses, both naked and clothed, in skin-tight outfits that he used to create for the shoots that left little to the imagination.
