Frida Kahlo's "The dream (The bed)" aims for record-breaking auction price in New York

Frida Kahlo's 1940 painting "The dream (The bed)" is expected to shatter auction records, potentially fetching between $40 million and $60 million. The artwork, previously in a private collection, will be auctioned at Sotheby's in New York on November 8. This follows another Kahlo self-portrait that sold for over $34 million in 2021, becoming the most expensive Latin American artwork. "The dream (The bed)" is a self-portrait depicting Kahlo in a bed, surrounded by symbolic imagery, and is considered a significant work exploring mortality.
