Almost 20 years ago, Leonora Carrington was barely known in her native Britain, neglected by the art world. Now, her painting Les Distractions de Dagobert (1945) sold for $28.5m at Sotheby's, making her the highest-selling female artist in British history.
Leonora Carrington's diverse talents as a painter, writer, sculptor, tapestry and jewelry creator, lithograph maker, playwright, and designer are being celebrated in exhibitions worldwide, showcasing her beyond her dream-like paintings and surreal fiction.
After being neglected for years in the art world, Leonora Carrington's recognition has improved significantly posthumously. Her varied works are now gaining widespread attention, akin to her friend Frida Kahlo's iconic status.
Leonora Carrington's art was previously overlooked but now receives widespread acclaim, with upcoming exhibitions celebrating her varied talents beyond painting and writing, including sculpting, designing, and more.
