Frida Kahlo painting could break records at auction

Here is a diversion from the dreary immigration news of the world.

NPR reports that Sotheby’s is auctioning off a self-portrait by artist Frida Kahlo. "An arresting self-portrait by Frida Kahlo, featuring the artist slumbering beneath a tangle of vines in a carved canopy bed with a skeleton reclining above her, will be auctioned . . . . The sale of the 1940 painting, called El sueño (La cama), is widely anticipated to set a record for the most expensive artwork made by a woman."
