This Frida Kahlo painting is likely to break the record of most expensive work by any female

An Israeli airstrike on a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon on Tuesday killed 13 people and wounded several others, according to state media and government officials. This incident marks the deadliest strike on Lebanon since the ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war a year ago. The Israeli military claimed the compound was used by Hamas for attacks against Israel.

A full-length portrait by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt was sold for $236.4 million at an auction in New York, making it the second most expensive artwork ever sold. The sale reflects a growing demand for high-value art pieces, particularly those of museum quality. Sotheby’s, the auction house responsible for the sale, is set to present a significant work by Frida Kahlo later this week, indicating a robust interest in iconic artists and their works.
