“I’m interested in the language of the in-betweenness of things, the mutation of the contradiction, the state of becoming visible.”

UK artist Jenny Saville's painting “Propped” recently sold for a £9.5 million, making her the most expensive female living artist (an artwork by the current most expensive living male artist, Jeff Koons, sold for £44 million, reflecting the 'value gap' re work by female artists)

Fun fact: Jenny Saville completed one of these works early in her career when she was only 24 years old; she completed the other work years later, after giving birth to her first child. Can you guess which is which?

가장 핫한 화가에 손꼽히는 영국 화가 제니 사빌(Jenny Saville)의 그림 하나에 1밀리언이 넘는다고 함....그림 하나에 10억이 넘는다는 소리. 지난 뉴욕에서 열린 쇼에선 심지어 거의 다 팔렸다고. 솔직히 나도 10억 있으면 사고 싶을 정도로 압도적이긴하다.
