Frida Kahlo’s “The Dream (The Bed)” sold for a record-breaking $54.7 million at Sotheby’s Thursday night, becoming the most expensive painting ever by a female artist. This sale surpasses Georgia O’Keeffe’s “Jimson Weed/White Flower No.1”, which sold for $44.4 million in 2014.
In this striking work, Kahlo floats against a vivid blue sky, asleep in her canopy bed while curling vines reach toward her. Overhead, an oversized skeleton looms, its bones adorned with explosives and dried flowers. It's a haunting, surreal vision only Frida could create.
Her legacy isn’t just in her art, it’s in breaking barriers and reshaping history.
