About the Session

Step into the captivating realm of South African artistry in our monthly auction session, Art Club. Featuring esteemed talents like Mongezi Ncaphayi, Zander Blom and Nelson Makamo, each piece resonates with cultural depth and creative flair.

Other works of interest are a trio of striking landscapes by Vera Volschenk, each coming onto the market with attractive estimates: The Sleeping Beauty - Riversdale (estimate R3 000 - 5 000), Arbeidsgenot (Dist Riversdale) (estimate R5 000 - 7 000), and The Lagoon – Nature’s Valley (estimate at R5 000 - 7 000).

“Another standout piece of the Art Club session is Colony II (estimate R50 000 - 70 000) by Penny Siopis. This woven mohair tapestry is part of Siopis’s early 1990s Colony series. Created by the Marguerite Stephens Tapestry Studios, it measures 137cm x 150cm x 1.5cm and features inscriptions with the names of the weavers, Lillian Simelan and Gladys Ntontela,” says Kayleen Wrigley, sale lead and Strauss & Co specialist.
