Leonora Carrington’s profile has risen significantly since her participation in the 2022 Venice Biennale,titled The Milk of Dreams,inspired by one of her books of fairy tales and drawings. The Biennale also showcased some of her paintings, and since then, her reputation—and the market for her work—has grown, unluckily attracting the attention of forgers.
A current exhibition at the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris reflects this growing interest. It is the first major exhibition dedicated to Carrington in France, bringing together over one hundred works and documents in a straightforward and accessible presentation. notably, the exhibition features many lesser-known pieces. Though, it doesn’t function as a thorough retrospective, as several of Carrington’s key paintings are not included. Self-Portrait (Inn of the Dawn Horse) (1937-1938) is not on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, nor is Summer (1942) from the tel Aviv Museum of Art. Dagobert’s Distractions (1945) is also absent, having been purchased by an argentinian collector in 2024 for $28.5 million (approximately €24 million).
