Late artist Frida Kahlo made history with the sale of her painting "Diego y Yo," or "Diego and I" for $34.9 million. It was the last self-portrait by the famed Mexican artist. It depicts a bust of Kahlo with tears in her eyes and the image of her husband, artist Diego Rivera, on her forehead. It’s meant to symbolize the tumultuous relationship between them.
