In this preview from the Art in the Twenty-First Century Season 7 episode, Investigation, artist Graciela Iturbide describes her approach to photography, as illustrated by her series, Frida’s Bathroom (2005–06).
Shown from La Casa Azul at Museo Frida Kahlo in Mexico City in 2013, the artist recalls photographing artist Frida Kahlo’s bathroom after being granted permission by the director of Museo Frida Kahlo. “I am not a Frida maniac,” says the artist. “Despite her suffering, she painted. And this is what I admire.”
