    Published: July 1, 2009

    Watch the homecoming of one of the Harry Ransom Center’s most famous and frequently borrowed art works, Frida Kahlo’s “Self-portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird” (1940). Featuring interviews with curators and installers, the video narrates the painting’s return to the Ransom Center, its unpacking and assessment, and finally, its installation on the first floor. The painting will be on display for a limited time in the Ransom Center’s lobby through Jan. 3, 2010.
