Biografia
René Magritte was the leading Belgian Surrealist, known for deadpan images that question the relation between objects, words and representation: the pipe that is not a pipe, men in bowler hats, skies of daylight above night streets. Working mostly in Brussels, he built a cool, illustrative style that later fed into Pop and conceptual art. His market has risen sharply in the last decade. In November 2024 L'empire des lumières (1954) sold for 121.2 million dollars at Christie's New York, a record for the artist and for any Surrealist work, and in 2025 two more paintings passed 12 million dollars. Iconic subjects from his recurring series are the most liquid and most expensive part of the market.
