Art Club
About the Session

This is my favourite artwork because...

Launched in 2023, Art Club creates space for collectors to engage meaningfully with art through conversation. For this iteration, Strauss & Co invited members of its staff to choose an artwork that resonated with them and to share a story of why that is the case. Endearingly titled, “This is my favourite artwork because...”, the first twelve lots in the session highlight a selection of works accompanied by personal reflections that speak to the emotional and interpretive dimensions of appreciating art.

Join us for a special evening celebrating in Cape Town, where Strauss & Co staff share personal reflections on their favourite artworks. The event will also include a presentation of Linn Ware and a hands-on event that offers the opportunity to explore the distinctive characteristics that make Linn Ware so endearingly collectable.
