Leonora Carrington, os he hablado de ella, una de las grandes y de las que no se hablaba mucho hasta hace poco y por supuesto la nunca mencionada en las facultades de Bellas Artes, hace historia pues el pasado miércoles, 15 de mayo, cuando su cuadro «Les Distractions de Dagobert» se vendió en subasta de Sotheby’s (Nueva York) por 28,5 millones de dólares (26.219,459 Euros). Este record la coloca por encima de pintores como Salvador Dalí y Max Ernst. Su tela surrealista de 1945 fue adquirida por el billonario argentino Eduardo F. Costantini, fundador del Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires. El senor Costantini ha dicho que el cuadro es «una pintura icónica».

Leonora Carrington, I have told you about her. For me she is one of the greats and one who wasn’t talked about much until recently. Certainly never mentioned in Art School at uni. Well she made history last Wednesday, May 15, when her painting «Les Distractions de Dagobert» was sold at Sotheby’s auction (New York) for 28.5 million dollars (26,219,459 Euros). This is a record and places her above painters like Salvador Dalí and Max Ernst. Her surrealist canvas from 1945 was acquired by Argentine billionaire Eduardo F. Costantini, founder of the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires. Mr. Costantini has said that «Les Distractions de Dagobert» is «an iconic painting.»
GRACIAS – CHEERS

Wow! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Seems like it should have made the news here in the US, but the only news we get is the day-to-day politics we’re mired in and can’t seem to find our way out of as a nation. But I digress…. It is encouraging that Leonora Carrington’s work is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

Wow, that is wonderful news. I know this pleases you too. You are such an advocate for talented women artist who did not get the recognition they deserved. That is a lot of money. An amazingly interesting piece as well. Lots of emotion here. Thanks Francisco. ❤️🙏❤️

You are very welcome. I appreciate you posting this and perhaps this will stir the pot a bit and make other artist (obviously not you-an educator for those under appreciated female artists) and museums pay more attention to those female artist today. I really appreciate your support of women’s artwork and talent. ❤️🙏❤️
