Works by legendary Mexican surrealist Frida Kahlo and lover Diego Rivera will be on display in Bulgaria as of January 29, for the first time in the country.

The expo at the Gallery of International Arts in Sofia will feature some of Kahlo's most famed paintings as well as her diary, and three graphics by Rivera. They will be on display until February 28.

Kahlo's works will be touring Europe and the US this year, as 50 years since the artist's death are marked.

Little known beyond the art world until about 10 years ago, Kahlo has in recent years become a cult icon. She has been the subject of at least three documentaries and one feature film.
