This painting just sold for $54 million, and is now the most expensive artwork by a woman. If you've wondered how paintings you've never heard of sell for record breaking sums, strap in. #1 ::: Tiny (circulating) supply Van Gogh has 900 paintings. Basquiat has over 600. Frida Kahlo only has 152 — a tiny fraction compared to many other important artists. Of the 152, not all are "circulating". Some are lost. Many are locked up in notable museums. LACMA has 1. MoMA has 3. The Museo Dolores Olmedo in Mexico City has 25. Once you remove the 50 or 60 pictures in museums... And the works in Mexican private collections, which are restricted by cultural patrimony laws and can't easily be sold... There may be only be ~30 or so paintings (depending on how you count it) that can be freely traded outside Mexico. This is the circulating supply of the artist — the # of works actually available to be bought or sold. And with Frida Kahlo, this number is extremely low. #2 ::: Auction story & history Great auctions have a story attached to them. Leonardo's Salvator Mundi was branded "The Last da Vinci". What's the story here? The overall record for a work by a woman artist has, until now, been O’Keeffe’s Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 at $44.4 million (2014). El sueño (La cama) came to market with a pre-sale estimate of $40–60 million, pitched as a candidate to break the O’Keeffe record and reset the ceiling for women artists. Now that's a strong story. #3 ::: So, why this painting? With this particular work, a collector can get everything they want from a top-tier Kahlo: - Self-portrait (her most sought-after genre) - Direct reference to artist's core themes (illness, fear of death etc) - Strong, instantly recognizable composition and color - Prime year (1940) Collectors pay a premium for “sweet-spot” works from the years when an artist was at their artistic peak—and this is exactly that window. On top of that, this picture has deep institutional pedigree: Exhibited at the Whitechapel Gallery, the Guggenheim, Tate Modern, and more. Reproduced repeatedly in major biographies and catalogues raisonnés. And it's already requested for forthcoming blockbuster exhibitions at MoMA, Tate Modern, and Fondation Beyeler. Here's the TLDR: - Globally famous artist with very few circulating works - Institutionally stamped, with renewed momentum - Work on auction is a signature self-portrait piece - Previous sales and auction story supported a record breaking valuation ~CdM

@CozomoMedici Its not just scarcity and best example of an artist work - its about provenance who has owned it..in this case Lauder for nearby 45 years off market. I love your newsletter been reading it past 2 years!

Name a more perfect pairing of art & cinema than Adam Dix & @asteroidcity from #wesanderson, we'll wait. His color palette, vintage aesthetic, flattened compositional style blend to create fanciful works that have us questioning our own reality & relationship with technology.
