The Wounded Table (La mesa herida in Spanish) is an oil painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Although lost in 1955, three photos of this painting were taken between 1940 and 1944.[1] The painting was first displayed in January 1940 at the International Surrealism Exhibit at Inés Amor's Gallery of Mexican Art in Mexico City,[2] and a replica is currently displayed in the Kunstmuseum Gehrke-Remund, Baden-Baden, Germany.[3][4] The painting was last exhibited in Warsaw in 1955, after which it disappeared, and is the subject of an ongoing international search.[2][5]
