I love this book.

Simple sewing from a self taught seamstress for people who may not have the time (or inclination) to wrangle with a complicated patter (however how gratifying that may be.)

"In celebration of the one-hundredth anniversary of Kahlo's birth, this major new monograph is published on the occasion of the 2007–08 traveling exhibition."

I had the pleasure of visiting this exhibit last weekend and found it to be one of the best exhibition experiences I have ever had (and I am a museum curator.)

This book gives you images of all of the art from the exhibit, plus more from Kahlo's oeuvre. Has a wonderful time line section that puts Kahlo's work into context.
