- Naïve art
- Surrealism
Diego and I (Spanish: Diego y yo) is a 1949 oil painting by the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954).
In November 2021, it sold at auction in Sotheby's New York for US$34.9 million, a record for a Kahlo work, and for a work by a Latin American artist.[1] It shattered the record previously held by the painting The Rivals (1931)[2] by her husband Diego Rivera (1886-1957) who appears on her forehead in this work.[3]
It is the last fully realized "bust" self-portrait Kahlo completed before her death in 1954.[4][5]
The purchaser was Eduardo Costantini, the founder of MALBA, the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires, who bought it for his private collection.[1] The painting had previously sold at Sotheby's in 1990 for $1.4 million.[1]
