サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「Piercing, intense, and hauntingly beautiful, Marlene Dumas’ Die Baba (2) from 2005 brings together the style, subject matter and psychological depth for which the artist is best known. One of the most acclaimed contemporary female artists working today, Dumas fled the apartheid in 1976 to continue her art education in Amsterdam. Die Baba (2) responds to an earlier painting, Die Baba from 1985, with the dark tones of the present work powerfully evoking themes of racial tensions and injustices; in the artist’s words, it’s “about blackness as a positive state, and the work is a tribute to black as a beautiful color”. Testament to the importance of this work, Die Baba (2) was included in Dumas’ museum shows in Japan that toured in 2007, hung directly adjacent to other important milestone portraits from earlier periods.⠀ ⠀ MARLENE DUMAS⠀ Die Baba (2)⠀ 2005⠀ oil on canvas⠀ 130 x 110 cm; 51.2 x 43.3 in.⠀ HK$ 19,500,000-23,500,000⠀ US$ 2,520,000-3,040,000⠀ ⠀ Contemporary Art Evening Sale⠀ 6 October, Hong Kong ⠀ ⠀ #marlenedumas #sothebyshongkong #sothebyscontemporary」9月19日 16時25分
