"She would say: 'I am a painter, that's enough'," says Arlette Souhami about Fini's reluctance to be labeled as Surrealist or female artist, emphasizing her desire to be recognized solely for her artistic identity.
Souhami observes that Fini's market has grown "slowly but surely" since her death in 1996, but in recent years, it has really taken off, illustrated by the high sale prices of her works.
Reflecting a growing tendency in the art world, the Pompidou Centre's exhibition also revives the contributions of neglected female artists, restoring visibility to figures like Leonora Carrington and Dora Maar.
Key among the exhibited paintings at Frieze Masters is a self-portrait of Fini and her partner that is valued at £1.65m, highlighting her significance as an artist.
