A standalone auction of South African prints from six studios also offers a deep-dive into Kentridge’s fascinating career as a printmaker.
Strauss & Co, Africa’s leading auction house, announces Johannesburg Auction Week , a series of curated auctions bringing together works by modernist pioneers and contemporary innovators. Among the many highlights are three rare landscapes by Moses Tladi, the first black artist to exhibit in the South African National Gallery, intensive artist focuses on William Kentridge and J.H. Pierneef, and an important textile work from 2008 by Billie Zangewa.
Adds Dr. Meredith: “Strauss & Co has played an important role in maintaining benchmark prices for J.H. Pierneef. For Johannesburg Auction Week, we have gathered one of the finest presentations of Pierneef landscapes to appear at market in recent years. The consignment is led by a monumental portrayal of Rustenburg Kloof , an enduring Pierneef subject, and an extensive landscape with rolling veld rendered in a gorgeous medley of pinks, yellows and greens .
Johannesburg Auction Week commences on Monday, November 6 with Defining Impressions: A Selection of Prints from South African Studios. The 80 lots on offer are chiefly linked to six studios: The Artists’ Press, Artist Proof Studio, The Caversham Press, David Krut Workshop, Legate Lithography Editions and Jillian Ross Print.
