state of the art market surrealist women awakening 2407636

A data-driven analysis by Artnet News and Morgan Stanley examines the auction market for women Surrealist artists from 2013 to 2023, using the Artnet Price Database to track prices and sell-through rates. The study contrasts the historical undervaluation of women Surrealists—such as Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, Kati Horna, and Bridget Bate Tichenor—against the enduring market dominance of male figures like Dalí, Magritte, and Miró, while noting Frida Kahlo as the top-selling woman Surrealist.

Frida Kahlo's painting *El sueño (La cama)* (1940) sold at Sotheby's for $54.7 million, setting a new auction record for Latin American art, for the artist herself, and for any work by a female artist. The sale surpasses Kahlo's previous record of $34.9 million set in 2021 for *Diego y yo* and eclipses the $9.76 million record for her husband Diego Rivera's *The Rivals* from 2018.
