Her painting "Self Portrait With Monkey" is now owned by
Madonna, who
is a big fan of her work. In fact
Madonna campaigned for the role of
Frida, in
Frida (2002) as did
Jennifer Lopez, and tried to get a film made for
numerous years. The film was eventually made with
Salma Hayek in the title
role. 'Madonna (I)' loaned the painting for the first time in over a
decade to the Tate Modern Exhibition (the biggest exhibition of surreal
art shown in the UK for two decades) in September 2001.
