LONDON
.- A vibrant work by the 105-year-old artist Carmen Herrera, Untitled, completed in 2013, was one of the highlights of Bonhams Contemporary Art sale today (Tuesday 27 April) in London. The work achieved £187,750.
The 28-lot sale made a total of £1,610,793, with 93% sold by lot, and 99% sold by value.
Head of Sale, Cassi Young, commented: Carmen Herrera is probably the worlds oldest working artist, and yet it has taken an unforgivably long time for her to finally receive the recognition she deserves having only garnered the attention of a male-dominated artworld in her late nineties. Im absolutely delighted that her work Untitled achieved such an impressive result, especially alongside a number of other wonderful works by top female contemporary artists, including Rebecca Horn, Tschabalala Self, and Genieve Figgis
