TEFAF NY: New York

"Surrealist Leonora Carrington’s El Gato sits among the spooky cats of world culture, somewhere between Lewis Carroll’s Cheshire Cat and that famously zany behatted Seussian creature, as all look back to Bast. A solitary, translucent three-eyed beast, it regards the viewer with a thousand-mile stare as disengaged background figures address each other with an earnestness that is for them and them alone. Carrington had a special kind of understanding of the nature of modern disconnection personified here."
