Kaeli Deane, Phillips’ Head of Sale, Latin American Art, said, “With Carmen Herrera, Lygia Pape, Remedios Varo, and Leonora Carrington leading the auction, it is clear that there is continued demand for female Latin American artists by collectors around the globe. We were also thrilled with the results for Jorge Eielson’s untitled work from 1974, which soared past its estimate of $10,000-15,000, selling for $57,500. We look forward to our next auction of Latin American Art in New York in November.”
