Strauss & Co is thrilled to announce details of its first live auction of 2022. This annual auction, an important event on the Cape Town art calendar, will be held over four consecutive days (3-6 April 2022) at Brickfield Canvas, a creative and tech campus in Woodstock. Auction highlights include four outstanding paintings by the highly collectable artist Irma Stern, a trove of excellent works by leading artists Maggie Laubser, Sydney Khumalo, George Pemba, Alexis Preller and Thania Peterson, as well as three single-owner collections of English and Asian decorative arts.

“The presentation and format for this auction is based on innovations and enhancements introduced over the past two years,” says Bina Genovese, Strauss & Co’s joint managing director. “There is a strong curatorial approach to the presentation of lots throughout the sessions. Our aim is to provide collectors with context and insight into the fabulous lots we will be presenting for sale.”
Following the successful sale of Chinese pieces from the property of a connoisseur in April 2021, Strauss & Co is honoured to present a further selection of furniture, ceramics and paintings from this discerning collection. Three of the English furniture pieces from this collection bear the plaque of highly reputable London dealer Norman Adams Ltd, notably a William and Mary walnut bureau dated c. 1690 .
