This is a rather clever art historical reference to a surrealist practice called the exquisite corpse. This is where a group of artists would each draw a different body part in their own style, then assemble them into a single surrealist character.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"540\" data-end=\"924\">Of course, the star of the evening sale on Thursday was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sothebys.com\/en\/buy\/auction\/2025\/exquisite-corpus-evening-auction\/el-sueno-la-cama?locale=en\"><em data-start=\"596\" data-end=\"616\">El sue\u00f1o (La cama)<\/em> <\/a>by Frida Kahlo. Kahlo shows herself asleep in a wooden four-poster bed, with vines and leaves creeping up the bright yellow blanket covering her. Meanwhile, on top of the canopy, a skeleton lies, mirroring Kahlo\u2018s pose. It holds flowers in its hands and has sticks of dynamite attached all over its surface.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"926\" data-end=\"1379\">When Kahlo created this painting in 1940, she had recently gotten divorced and remarried to Diego Rivera. She had also been diagnosed with polio. That and the chronic pain from the injuries she sustained in a bus accident in 1925 made her more reflective on her pain and impending death. According to Sotheby\u2019s specialists, the painting \u201cencapsulat[es] her lifelong preoccupation with mortality, physicality, and the emotional complexities of selfhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57138\" style=\"width: 192px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57138\" class=\" wp-image-57138\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-29-114224-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"Surreal Dal\u00ed landscape featuring shell-like forms and rocky terrain with optical dual imagery.\" width=\"182\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-29-114224-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-29-114224.jpg 317w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 182px) 100vw, 182px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57138\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salvador Dal\u00ed \u2013 Symbiose de la t\u00eate aux coquillages<\/p><\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"2244\">The painting also plays with classic surrealist concepts, such as consciousness, and draws on older artistic subjects, such as the reclining nude and the nineteenth-century orientalist odalisque. The skeleton on top of the bed also draws on Mexican folk art and pre-Columbian indigenous culture. The painting was guaranteed by a third party, meaning it was bound to set an auction record for the artist regardless of who else bid. Against a low estimate of $40 million, <em data-start=\"1853\" data-end=\"1873\">El sue\u00f1o (La cama)<\/em> achieved a hammer price of $47 million (or $54.6 million w\/p). Not only was this an auction record for Frida Kahlo, but it also set the record for most expensive work of art by a Latin American artist, as well as most expensive work by a female artist, beating out Georgia O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s <em data-start=\"2158\" data-end=\"2190\">Jimson Weed\/White Flower No. 1<\/em> that sold at Sotheby\u2019s in 2014 for $44.4 million w\/p.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2246\" data-end=\"2676\">There was a significant gap between the first- and second-place lots at Sotheby&#8217;s on Thursday. Salvador Dal\u00ed\u2019s 1931 painting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sothebys.com\/en\/buy\/auction\/2025\/exquisite-corpus-evening-auction\/symbiose-de-la-tete-aux-coquillages?locale=en\"><em data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2408\">Symbiose de la t\u00eate aux coquillages<\/em> <\/a>was created the same year that the artist officially joined Andr\u00e9 Breton\u2019s Surrealist group. Though he had been pursuing art for some time, his decision to join what was then the most avant-garde group of artists in Europe led to his being disinherited by his father.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2678\" data-end=\"3347\">Many of Dal\u00ed\u2019s paintings at this time feature desolate landscapes with craggy outcroppings and little plant life. This is also when he developed his paranoiac-critical method, where he would cause himself to hallucinate, inspiring works featuring optical illusions and the use of double imagery. Regarding the landscape elements, Dal\u00ed produces a dichotomy between the monumental, unchanging rock formations and the fleeting, momentary human shapes the mind can sometimes see in inanimate substances. Estimated to sell for between $2 million and $3 million, the Dal\u00ed slightly exceeded its high estimate, with the hammer coming down at $3.4 million (or $4.2 million w\/p).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57139\" style=\"width: 255px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57139\" class=\" wp-image-57139\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-29-114404-300x239.jpg\" alt=\"Two anthropomorphic typewriters intertwined atop a rugged rock formation.\" width=\"245\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-29-114404-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-29-114404.jpg 519w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57139\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oscar Dom\u00ednguez \u2013 La Machine \u00e0 \u00e9crire ou La Jeu de la logique<\/p><\/div>\n<p data-start=\"3349\" data-end=\"3830\">And in third, a duo of lots each received a final bid of $3 million (or $3.7 million w\/p). The first was a 1938 oil painting by the Spanish surrealist Oscar Dom\u00ednguez, entitled<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sothebys.com\/en\/buy\/auction\/2025\/exquisite-corpus-evening-auction\/la-machine-a-ecrire?locale=en\"> <em data-start=\"3526\" data-end=\"3571\">La Machine \u00e0 \u00e9crire ou La Jeu de la logique<\/em><\/a>, which translates to <em data-start=\"3593\" data-end=\"3627\">The Typewriter or The Logic Game<\/em>. The subject is one of the artist&#8217;s best-known works, a pair of typewriters seemingly alive and embracing one another. Their keys extend outward like vines crawling across the rocky crevice they sit on.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3832\" data-end=\"4448\">The work is important from a technical perspective, as it employs the decalcomania technique, primarily pioneered by Dom\u00ednguez and Max Ernst. This consisted of applying paint to one surface, such as paper or glass, and then pressing it against the canvas to create various patterns of shapes that would provide a foundation for the artist. Dom\u00ednguez has combined technology and modernity with eroticism, with the rough landscape and pale, milky sky providing an excellent stage for a dive into the subconscious. Expected to sell for no more than $1.5 million, the Dom\u00ednguez achieved exactly double its high estimate.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4450\" data-end=\"4964\">Meanwhile, the 1962 painting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sothebys.com\/en\/buy\/auction\/2025\/exquisite-corpus-evening-auction\/la-representation?locale=en\"><em data-start=\"4479\" data-end=\"4498\">La Repr\u00e9sentation<\/em> <\/a>by the renowned Belgian master Ren\u00e9 Magritte shared third place. It shows a soccer match being played on a field in the countryside in front of a white house. A stone ledge lines the bottom of the canvas, with a little archway of the same color and material, seemingly taken out of a balustrade, sitting on top of the ledge on the left-hand side. However, Magritte has recreated the soccer match within the threshold of the empty space made by this stone structure.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57140\" style=\"width: 269px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57140\" class=\" wp-image-57140\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-29-114532-300x242.jpg\" alt=\"A surreal soccer match framed inside the negative space of a stone arch on a ledge.\" width=\"259\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-29-114532-300x242.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-29-114532.jpg 515w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57140\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ren\u00e9 Magritte \u2013 La Repr\u00e9sentation<\/p><\/div>\n<p data-start=\"4966\" data-end=\"5673\">This is another rendition of the artist&#8217;s experiments with ideas of perception, creating impossible images by playing with the lenses or framing devices through which we see. Magritte had been experimenting with this subject since the early 1930s, as seen in his painting <em data-start=\"5238\" data-end=\"5260\">La condition humaine<\/em> and his later 1964 painting <em data-start=\"5289\" data-end=\"5308\">Le soir qui tombe<\/em>. However, Sotheby\u2019s notes that <em data-start=\"5340\" data-end=\"5359\">La Repr\u00e9sentation<\/em> marks a departure from the artist&#8217;s other renditions of the theme, in that canvases placed on easels and panes of glass serve as tangible framing devices for observing something. However, in the work offered at Sotheby\u2019s, it is not a physical surface that captures the impossible image, but rather an empty space.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5675\" data-end=\"6317\">It is almost as if the artist has taken the perspective of someone viewing the game from further down the stone ledge to the left of the viewer and placed that image in the negative space formed by the arch, for the viewer to see simultaneously with his own perspective, viewing the match straight on. The painting offered at Sotheby\u2018s made its auction debut on Thursday evening, having been kept in the same private collection since 1968. However, with an estimated range of $4 million to $6 million, the Magritte slightly underperformed, which is rather unusual for probably the most popular surrealist artist on the secondary market today.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6319\" data-end=\"6826\">Along with the Dom\u00ednguez, there were several lots, the results of which may have surprised Sotheby\u2019s specialists. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sothebys.com\/en\/buy\/auction\/2025\/exquisite-corpus-evening-auction\/le-crapaud-de-maldoror?locale=en\"><em data-start=\"6433\" data-end=\"6457\">Le Crapaud de Maldoror<\/em><\/a> by Valentine Hugo was the first lot to cross the block on Thursday evening, estimated at no more than $150K. However, the kaleidoscope of greenery as well as the literary references of the subject seem to have emboldened several bidders as the bid shot right past specialists\u2019 expectations, landing at $650K (or $825.5K w\/p), or more than four times the high estimate.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6828\" data-end=\"7168\">Later on, a 1959 work by Hans Bellmer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sothebys.com\/en\/buy\/auction\/2025\/exquisite-corpus-evening-auction\/les-bas-rayes?locale=en\"><em data-start=\"6867\" data-end=\"6882\">Les Bas ray\u00e9s<\/em><\/a>, proved popular as well. Described in the catalogue notes as a \u201cwork of exquisite draftsmanship and potent eroticism\u201d, the painting was assigned a maximum estimate of $400K prior to the sale. However, several interested parties pushed the final hammer price up to $850K (or $942K w\/p).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7170\" data-end=\"7696\">There were no unsold lots on Thursday evening, giving Sotheby\u2019s a 100% sell-through rate. However, this is not particularly surprising since 17 of the 24 lots, or 70% of the sale, were guaranteed properties. Seven lots sold within their estimates, giving Sotheby\u2019s an accuracy rate of 29%. Impressively, a further 11 lots (46%) sold above their estimates, while 6 (25%) sold below. In total, the <em data-start=\"7566\" data-end=\"7584\">Exquisite Corpus<\/em> evening auction brought in $82.1 million (or $98.1 million w\/p) against a $66.7 million total minimum estimate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To close out the week of blockbuster New York sales, Sotheby\u2019s hosted a pair of auctions dedicated to surrealist art, titled Exquisite Corpus.
