At Christie’s London auction this past week, a flurry of bids came for the artist’s colorful orange Lepidoptera (1968), one of her few overtly political works, driving it to £460,000 ($553,058), nearly double its high estimate. Carrington’s market has been on the rise, riding off the 2022 Venice Biennale and a new $3.25 million auction record set in Sotheby’s last May.
