La Grande Dame (The Cat Woman) by surrealist Leonora Carrington goes up for auction
Created in 1951, almost a decade on from her relocation to Mexico, the carved wooden sculpture stems from a period of febrile creativity during which Carrington fell in with a clique of artists who shared her fascination with spiritualism and the occult. Standing well over six feet tall, La Grande Dame is a poised, puzzling figure with elongated features and an indecipherable expression spread across its spade-shaped head.https://news.artnet.com/market/leonora-carrington-la-grande-dame-sothebys-2562149
