Back then,– though feted in her adoptive country, Mexico – was barely known in her native Britain. She had been as neglected by the art world in general as by her country, and our family. – was sold at Sotheby’s in New York for $28.5m, making her the highest-selling female artist in British history.

Today I have these items The new show, which I am curating, will bring together more than 70 pieces of Carrington’s work, many of which have not been seen in the UK before. These include a series of masks made for a theatrical production ofin the 1950s, as well as a collection of 1974 lithographs of costumes made for a production of S An-sky’s play, in New York.
