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.
