Frida with Monkey, Guillermina Aguilar Mexican Folk Art
'Frida with Monkey'
by Guillermina Aguilar (Oaxaca, Mexico)
Made in 2002
Clay
Dimensions: 12 by 5 in.

Guillermina Aguilar works in clay and has produced an important theme where she gives homage to Frida. Guillermina is among the most significant modern day folk artists giving homage to Frida.

In the case of 'Frida with Monkey' Guillermina has reproduced in clay the work of Frida "Self-Portrait with Monkey 1940".

Guillermina Aguilar is the eldest of the Aguilar sisters of Ocotlan, Oaxaca. Guillermina's sisters are Josefina, Concepcion and Irene Aguilar. From an early age, the famed Aguilar sisters learned to make clay figures from their mother. Their work today is world famous and highly sought after by Folk Art Collectors. Guillermina, Josefina, Irene and Concepcion have transformed traditional clay making into new and magical forms. Their clay figures are exhibited widely in galleries and museums both in Mexico and abroad. Guillermina Aguilar is a well documented Master of Mexican Folk Art. Her work is illustrated in two important books on Mexican Folk Art: 'Oaxacan Ceramics: Traditional Folk Art by Oaxacan Women" and in the extraordinary Banamex book "Great Masters of Mexican Popular Art" (where a similar Frida can be found). The art that comprises this extraordinary book is being exhibited throughout the world and has traveled to New York city at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). Guillermina's work is currently exhibiting at the Fresno Metropolitan Museum of Art. This Banamex exhibition features more than 600 master works from all 31 states of the Mexican Republic, this exhibition offers a comprehensive view of the most exceptional contemporary folk art of Mexico.
