has set a new record. The Mexican icon's oil painting,"Diego y yo," just sold for $34.9 million at a Sotheby's auction on November 16 — a massive sale that marked the most money spent on a piece of art by any Latin American artist.

Around the time that Kahlo created this painting, her health was beginning to decline. She had several surgeries on her spine, which led to a nine-month hospital stay. When she got out, Kahlo often used a wheelchair. With that in mind, the sale of"Diego y yo" is also significant because of her breaking the record that was previously set by her husband, whose painting,"The Rivals," sold for $9.8 million at a Christie's auction back in 2018.
