Jenny Saville’s (b.1970) contorted and grotesquely fleshy female nudes are hot property on the contemporary art market.
Since being popularised by Charles Saatchi, her biggest works have gone on to sell for over £1m.
Sotheby’s set an auction record for the artist last summer with Shift – a vast canvas featuring a line of fleshy naked bodies – which sold for £5.95m.
