Corporeal Field II
This work by Frida Kahlo shows her use of Surrealist strategies while keeping drawing as a tool for exploring the unconscious. The dense calligraphic lines and layered structures, typical of her mid-1940s works, transform landscape into corporeal presence. The volcanic motif, once symbolic of externalized pain, becomes an internalized eruption: trauma is inscribed directly onto the body, with uterus, blood, and wound converging into a single, diagrammatic composition.
Kahlo’s market stature is exceptional relative to her small oeuvre of around 150 works. With only 52 works sold at auction since 2000 and a 100% sell-through rate in recent years, supply remains acutely limited. She holds the auction record for a female artist and is the best-selling Mexican artist to date. Comparable works have consistently exceeded high estimates, pointing to stable demand and robust long-term value growth.
