🍃 🍃 WOW! This beautiful painting by Ithell COLQUHOUN titled ‘Anthurium’ (1936) just sold @bonhamsmodbrit for an astonishing £258,600 ~ breaking the record for the artist.

🍃🍃 Last seen in public in 1973, it is painted in what Colquhoun would later refer to as her 'magic realism' or 'super realism' style.

The estimate was £12,000 - £18,000

🖼 This painting - The White Disease, 1985 - is based on a photograph taken by a friend of Dumas who worked at a dermatological clinic. The metaphorical title – The White Disease – likens the belief in white supremacy to a fatal disease of the spirit – racism – that has engendered centuries of violence.⁠
