Subject: Frida Kahlo and lipstick
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has treated, prepared for exhibition, or performed research on works by Frida Kahlo with lipstick media on any substrate. I have found a few citations on lipstick as modern media (and as vandalism), but I am chiefly concerned about lightfastness properties of lipstick that would be desirable to retain. Analysis may be an option to determine the properties of this particular lipstick (c. 1940), but any suggestions, referrals and comments are welcome.
