Last year, for the first time in history, a limited-edition Frida Kahlo doll was licensed (to Munecas ENY S.A. de C.V.) by the Kahlo family in preparation for Frida Kahlo's 100th year anniversary in 2007. The doll will be available to collectors in the United States by special order, and at prestigious retailers. Master artist Jose Guadalupe Barrios, contemporary and friend to Diego Rivera, sculpted Kahlo's likeness for this doll. The Mexico City Philharmonica created a special music CD with Mexican melodies that were close to Frida’s heart. Mrs. Isolda Kahlo, niece and heir, published a special biography book to be included with this limited-edition presentation. The first 1000 limited-edition dolls will include a signed, numbered certificate by Mrs. Kahlo. All dolls will bear numbered certificates of authenticity, and come in an ornate presentation box with the book and CD.
