This edition of "Frida Kahlo's Dreams" brings together for the first time a selection of drawings from different public and private collections, showing the artist's most intimate universe through self-portraits, dreamlike scenes, fantasies and personal compositions.

The set provides access to the most private facet of Frida Kahlo's work, including annotations from her diary and a critical study by international specialists who analyze her artistic language and life context.

The presence of the sculptural case, the independent plate and the meticulous craftsmanship make this edition a collector's item, conceived as a work that integrates book, art and document in a single piece.
