Notes related to Sotheby's

Frida Kahlo has entered a new chapter of global recognition. The sale of El sueño (La cama) for $54.66 million at Sotheby’s marks the highest price ever achieved by a woman artist at auction and the strongest result for any modern Latin American artist.

The art market stands out as a unique and enigmatic sector, notoriously difficult to measure and largely unregulated. Yet, it never fails to captivate the media, drawing attention with its dazzling multimillion-dollar sales and the alluring glamour of art collecting.
