She Sold Her Biggest Painting for $800. It's Now Worth Millions. | VERSO

Frida Kahlo painted The Two Fridas during her divorce from Diego Rivera. She sold it to the Mexican government for four thousand pesos — about eight hundred dollars.
In 2021, a single Kahlo painting sold at Sotheby's for thirty-four point nine million dollars.
She painted fifty-five self-portraits in her lifetime. She made her first while lying in a hospital bed with a mirror above her, recovering from a bus accident that nearly killed her. She never called her work surrealism: I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.
