ART EXHIBITION – Anything But Static: A Selection of Modern and Contemporary Still Life Artworks

This exhibition bridges the gap between historical tradition and contemporary investigation. Still life, as an idea, continues to be explored today. While the classic motifs of flowers, fabrics, and food remain, the subject matter can be representative of personal, cultural, mythological, religious and philosophical themes.

This selection of works are both historical and contemporary, exploring how one can capture and comment on identity, culture, mythology, beliefs and views through the use of iconography, symbols and objects.

The exhibition brings together a special selection of artworks from the Kilbourn Collection, the Caro Wiese Collection, the Sanlam Collection and other private collections, alongside selected works from Strauss & Co’s upcoming auctions.
