Radical, bisexual, plagued by pain, an exceptional painter: all these describe Frida Kahlo, known the world over for her self-portraits, for her turbulent relationship with Diego Rivera, and for her ability to touch people of different backgrounds with her dramatic imagery. Curator/biographer Hayden Herrera and SFMOMA curator Alison Gass discuss Kahlo's life, work and legacy, as well as the current SFMOMA exhibition.
