In the Sotheby's London salesroom, Lisa Brice’s ‘After Embah’ soared to £5.4 million after nearly 7 minutes of bidding—setting a new auction record for the artist. What better way to kick off Women’s History Month than with this milestone, surpassing her previous record set at Sotheby's NewYork just four years ago? Titled in tribute to the late Trinidadian artist Embah, Brice’s painting reimagines the female nude through a distinctly contemporary lens. The poised, self-possessed figure channels the commanding stance of Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda while subtly nodding to Manet’s ‘Plum Brandy’ and ‘Olympia’, all set against a cobalt backdrop.
