For some reason (I don't understand exactly why) you must anchor the image object into the widget in order for it to display. Therefore try the following change at your code:

from Tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

class GUI:

    def __init__(self, master):

        frame = Frame(master)
        frame.pack()

        #status bar
        self.bar = Frame(root, relief=RIDGE, borderwidth=5)
        self.bar.pack(side=TOP)

        self.iconPath = 'data/icons/size.png'
        self.icon = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(self.iconPath))
        self.icon_size = Label(self.bar)
        self.icon_size.image = self.icon  # <== this is were we anchor the img object
        self.icon_size.configure(image=self.icon)
        self.icon_size.pack(side=LEFT)

root = Tk()


app = GUI(root)

root.mainloop()

Good Luck!
