Madonna's London home tour reveals Frida Kahlo works and family mementos

Vogue Italia has released a video tour of Madonna's London residence, focusing on her art collection and personal objects. The tour begins in her studio, where a self-portrait by Frida Kahlo is displayed, and moves to the bathroom featuring small phallic sculptures by Brazilian artist Anderson Asteclines, part of a program supported by Tracey Emin. Madonna shows a wooden rosary that belonged to her grandmother, passed down to her mother, Post-it notes from her daughter, her mother's perfume, a music box playing 'Bella ciao,' and a sculpture by her son Rocco. In the living room, called the 'Blue Room,' hangs Kahlo's painting 'My Birth' and a work by Tracey Emin. Madonna recounts first encountering Kahlo's self-portrait during a high school visit to the Detroit Institute of Arts, where she was struck by Diego Rivera's murals and small photographs of Kahlo. Later, upon moving to New York, she bought a postcard of the same portrait. Eleven years after that, the painting came up at auction and Madonna acquired it. She describes Kahlo as a 'eternal muse' and says that as an artist and woman trying to make her way in the world, it's easy to feel a connection to her.
