Frida Kahlo''s haunting art often explores two subjects: the first, her turbulent relationship with Communist muralist Diego Rivera; the second is her home country, Mexico. Aside from stints in the United States and Europe, she spent most of her life in the Blue House in Coyoacan, a leafy neighbourhood in the south of Mexico City. It was here she was born, learned to paint while recovering from a traumatic accident, lived on and off with Diego and died, aged just 47, leaving behind 200 works that weave together Surrealism, fantasy and folklore. In this guide we chart Kahlo''s time in this vast metropolis, from childhood to death, taking in life-altering events such as a tram accident that left her bedridden for years, to her first glimpse of Diego. Through 35 entries, we gain insight into Kahlo''s life and work and the inspiration she found in the city of her birth.

On a cold night in January 1961, Bob Dylan arrived in New York. Within hours, he talked his way into an impromptu set at the Cafe Wha? in Greenwich Village. Tentative steps soon became giant ones as he evolved from an unscrubbed folkie into the reluctant voice of a generation. Born and raised in Minnesota as Robert Zimmerman, it was only in New York that he completed his transformation into Bob Dylan, during the frenetic period this guide documents. The large format annotated map includes 53 entries including apartments where he''d crash for a few nights, small clubs and bars at which he strummed and sang for change, scenes of first successes, locations of LP cover shoots, and much more. All of it rigorously researched and painstakingly documented on a large format fold-out map.
