Be part of Strauss & Cos forthcoming auctions

It gives me great pleasure to inform you that our auction results for the first half of 2013 have been extremely positive showing a solid and buoyant market across the board, from paintings to furniture, silver to jewellery and glass to ceramics. We realised a total turnover of R96 million whilst our high average sell through rate of 85%, unique to Strauss & Co, was maintained. These figures reaffirm our position as global market leaders in South African art, and demonstrate the real interest of buyers in the top quality works we handle. We have been able to achieve these results whilst maintaining our competitive commission rates and our level of expertise and professionalism across all aspects of our business. Valuation days at our offices, July 2013 We are currently inviting consignments for our forthcoming auctions. Should you be thinking of selling, we would be delighted to assist you with a free and confidential valuation. Please contact us to book an appointment.

Submissions for our forthcoming auctions close on Friday 19 July (Cape Town) and Friday 30 August (Johannesburg). In closing, I would like to share with you two of Strauss & Cos most recent successes. The Cecil Skotnes triptych of The Last Supper achieved R1 818 880 (six times its pre-sale estimate) following the much disputed decision by the Institute for Catholic Education to remove it from the Santa Sofia Refectory in Pretoria. We are pleased to report that it was bought by a private collector who plans to make it available to a public institution. We were also delighted to be involved in the Wits Art Museum Endowment Auction an initiative that raised R5 288 500. We anticipate that the next six months will be even more fruitful and look forward to hearing from you. Kindest regards

Its the best feeling to wrap up an Art Times edition - at this summit, one feels that the local art climate is strong and electrifying. Despite the economic climate artists, galleries and art auction houses are more determined to try new and dynamic strategies to build and maintain their client base by providing better services and quality. In this regard, a blazing new line-up of art and antique fairs provides a welcome addition to galleries for looking for new markets These include: National Antiques Faire 19-21 July, Jhb.

In addition to the Grahamstown Festival, be sure to pop into the Arts Journey Art Festival in Port Elizabeth / Nelson Mandela Bay, which will certainly will be an awakening wonderment, especially for the 2014 Festival.As you might have noticed we are producing a 32 -page Art Times until Spring, and are supplementing our exposure by increasing our Art Times distribution to over 200 schools that have art as a subject (reaching over 3000 learners) as well as hotels throughout SA this month.

Art meets antiques at The National Antiques Faire

Philip Barlow 4 pm (2013) Oil on canvas
The National Antiques & Decorative Arts Faire, which takes place at the Sandton Convention Centre from the 19th to the 21st July will offer visitors a visual banquet of antiques, art, collectables and decorative arts that will excite the regular collector and be a magnet for those who have been drawn into the wonderful world of collecting. There is no question that there is a global movement towards collecting and what is being termed crossover collecting. Today, collectors mix and match their collecting genres and, thanks to the proliferation of antique roadshows, collecting shows and restoration programmes, people are catching the collecting bug and are seeing the benefits, both personally and financially, of becoming collectors. In line with the international trend of incorporating old and new art masters into antique fairs, the National Antiques & Decorative Arts Faire has successfully incorporated the theme From Regal to Retro where the range of goods on show ranged from a 17th Century painting of Simon van der Stel to a William Kentridge original; from a rare 18th Century German armoire to Danish modern furniture from the 50s to 70s. This eclectic melange gave visitors, of all ages and from all walks of life, the chance to mix and match across different genres and periods. Since its inception in 2000, the NAADA Faire has sought to bring collecting to the attention of all those who love beautiful things from the antique aficionados who are looking for the rare and expensive to the more recent antiques and collectables that are all the rage in younger circles. The presentation and glamour of the National Antiques & Decorative Arts Faire is unmatched in South Africa from the decor design presentation style that matches antiques and collectables with contemporary art to the glamour of the opening night.
The result is the most talked about antiques, art and collectables fair in the country and substantial sales for those dealers who exhibit at this fair. Art An Essential In The Mix With so many antique dealers picking up significant South African Masters art pieces in their day-to-day dealings with collectors, the art section of the NAADA Faire has, over the years, gained importance and this year we will have an Art Pavilion dedicated to featuring not only old SA masters but contemporary master art as well as collectable ceramics and crafts. This dedicated art pavilion will showcase both SA old masters and introduce tomorrows contemporary masters from some reputable art dealers such as Henry Taylor Fine Art, Christopher Mller Fine Art, Neo-Classique Decor, The Art Room, to mention a few. Another innovation will be a dedicated library section complete with comfortable leather chairs and featuring some of South Africas top book, art, print and signature dealers. With technology overshadowing the art of print making, collecting this genre has become all the more important and significant values have been set on first edition books, early maps and signed prints and autographs. Should you be interested in exhibiting in the Art or Book sections of the NAADA Faire give Clyde Terry a call on 011 482 4259 or 082 883 4933 or email clyde4th@ mweb.co.za or Giuli Osso obn 011 802 1602 or 083 377 6721 or email [email protected] Diarise The Naada Faire 18th July 2013 Opening Night Tickets R230 pp available from 011 482 4259 19 21st July = Trading Days 10am to 6pm Entrance R80 per person Visit www.naada.co.za

Mary Sibande: The purple shall reign at the fest Mail & Guardian: Matthew Krouse: Mary Sibande is moving on from a familiar character in her oeuvre and, by exploring an historical event, is digging for deeper meaning. Its not often in the art world that a fast-rising star turns her back on a well-founded idea. But for the sake of drama, sculptor Mary Sibande is making the most of her move away from her semi-autobiographical character of Sophie to create a mysterious new alter ego.

The art of making tools that make art. BD Live By Penny Haw, Years ago, when Cape Town artist Conrad Hicks began hand-forging metal sculptures, he realised the forms that gave him the greatest satisfaction were exactly the same as those used in tool-making for thousands of years. Thus began his fascination with tools and working with metal, which took him on a journey to become an artist-blacksmith and recently culminated in his first solo exhibition, Implemente, on at Tokara, near Stellenbosch.

and business studies. Like many in his generation he completed school with University exemption, but could not afford a tertiary degree. In 2004, partially employed as a waiter, Asanda hit rock bottom. His fate seemed restricted to the limited opportunities available to citizens in Molteno: sheep farming or working at the Ouma Rusks factory. This is when he started painting again and when he rediscovered his creative calling. Asandas tale after 2004 is one of a man passionate about art, driven to succeed against the pressures of family, society and situation. He proactively took every opportunity he could to improve himself and his work. Apart from achieving a diploma in visual arts from Walter Sisulu University, highlights in his artistic journey include assisting artist Aleta Michaletos, revitalizing the Molteno Museum, and participating in an artists bootcamp coordinated by Churchill Madikida. He came to Johannesburg at the beginning of 2012 and while assisting at Art Jamming in Melrose Arch, he has continued to grow his portfolio. I live in the dark corners of downtown Johannesburg City, in a room as a house by the day and a studio at night, as most artists do, Asanda said. Influenced by the movement and colour of Gerard Sekotos paintings and the social-activist Banksy, Asanda sees is driven to address the social ills in society. He feels he cannot create works of beauty when the suffering of others surrounds him. Last year this country was faced with a number of unfortunate events such as the Marikana Massacre, Asanda explains. As an artist I feel it is my duty to record and showcase the victims and these unfortunate events for the coming generations. I use the media to feed my expression, which I transfer to canvas. Situations like Marikana were highly emotional, where individuals disappeared into crowds, into a confused emotional haze where their individual identities are blurred in a mist of madness. Firmly committed to the community in Molteno, Asanda wants to return home to promote art and encourage art practices in his home community. The Bag Factory is excited to see what the next three months will hold for Asanda and we hope that this takes Asandas career to the next level.

Numerous young artists in South Africa lack access to art education and art production facilities. The Reinhold Cassirer Award, supported by Nadine Gordimer and Strauss & Co auction house, is aimed at talented young painters and drawers whose work shows great potential, but who have had limited access to artistic opportunities. This year, Nadine Gordimer in conjunction with Strauss & Co and the Bag Factory, are delighted to announce that painter, Asanda Kupa, has been selected as the 2013 Reinhold Cassirer Award winner. Asandas story starts in Molteno, a small Karoo town situated eighty kilometres north-west of Queenstown. He discovered his passion for art in school, where he illustrated super-heroes and soldiers to the delight of his friends. Unfortunately, like many in his generation, Asandas passion was subdued by a broad-based emphasis on commercial and business skills, and very limited art facilities. He found himself struggling alongside his peers with maths

Forbes: Kathryn Tully:Six Risks To The Global Art Market in 2014 What would it take to spook the global art market? What are the biggest risks to the art market in 2014? What is the very worst thing that could happen and would that send art prices plummeting?

How art auctions, posh vacations can predict a market slump Reuters: LONDON - Record prices at art auctions in recent weeks and oversubscribed holidays by private jet are among signals that a stock market slump is approaching, if followers of behavioral finance are to be believed. They insist social mood governs human action, including investment on stock markets, and their theories are gaining ground as tools for financial analysis. To gauge the mood and the likely impact on markets, behavioral analysts look at traditional measures such as investment polls and options but also at social media, including Twitter and Facebook, and even at developments in art and sport. www.abs-cbnnews.com

South African Art Triumphs at Cape Town Auction
The auction floor at Stephan Welz & Co. in Cape Town last week was indeed Proudly South African, with two Maggie Laubser paintings and one Tretchikoff selling for over R1 million each, and an iconic Sydney Kumalo sculpture going for R728 000, nearly four times its estimated value. Laubsers Die Meidjie, which was estimated at R 900 000 - R1 100 000, sold for R1 680 000. This painting is one of Laubsers iconic works, and a great example of her portraiture, said Anton Welz, Director of Stephan Welz & Co. Adding to its attractiveness is the fact that it is something fresh on the market. It was given to the seller by the artist herself, so has never before been for sale. Another Laubser painting, Portrait of a Woman with a Headscarf, sold for R1 008 000. Also new to the market was Kumalos bronze of St. Francis of Assisi. The sculpture, which is one of an edition of 10, was purchased directly by the seller from the artist, who is considered one of South Africas most important sculptors. The work is one of Kumalos most iconic pieces, and has been featured in a number of reference books, added Welz. It was valued at R 200 000 - R 220 000. In recent days, Vladimir Tretchikoffs oil on canvas painting, The Hindu Dancer, has attracted huge attention, as the whereabouts of Champa Chameli, the woman who posed for the painting nearly 60 years ago, were discovered. The sale of the painting at R1 456 000, did not disappoint, as it was estimated at R800 000 - R1 000 000. Last week, Chamelis daughter confirmed that her mother, who is now known as Champa Manooa, was the woman immortalized on canvas by Tretchikoff, and currently lives in Florida, USA. Chameli was a well-known South African Indian dancer from a musical family in the Springfield suburb of Durban. The paintings new owner is a Durban resident. Continuing the current trend of high-selling Andy Warhol works, a colour silkscreen of Mick Jagger signed by both Jagger and Warhol, sold for R 448 000. The silkscreen was valued at just R 300 000 - R 350 000. Last November, bidding at the auction house for a funky Warhol cabinet crudely painted with dollar signs reached frenzied levels, with the cabinet (estimated at R15 000 to R18 000) ultimately selling for R134 400. In 2011, Stephan Welz & Co. sold its first Warhol silkscreen of Jagger, which was valued at R200 000, for R268 800. Other important sales include a rare first edition of J M Barries Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, estimated at R 10 000 - R 15 000, sold for R56 000, and an Anglo-Boer POW cedarwood and inlaid travelling writing desk made in 1902, valued at R20 000 R25 000, sold for R112 000.

there made his picture a homage to Frieda Khalo, but there is little symbolism in most works. A gang of bikers hangs next to a musician doing tricks, a trio of office workers discusses a project, and a group of schoolgirls does their baking, but its mostly individual faces that stare back at you in this refreshingly unshowy presentation. The travel award is one exception to the rule. Last years winner Carl Randall has brought back from Japan a fascinating array of Oriental faces, crushed on the railway at rush hour, in paddy fields, in Tokyos cafes and walking in the Zen calm of a Japanese garden. Outsider art, it seems, has come inside. Not only is it a main theme of the Venice Biennale this year, or the subject of a show at the quirky Wellcome Collection, but now mainstream gallery space in the heart of London is being dedicated to numerologists, occultists and fetishists. The Alternative Guide to the Universe at the Hayward Gallery (until 26 Aug) seeks to expand the spaces of our own imaginative thinking and initially there is much to admire. Detailed drawings and whacky models of imaginary buildings, colourful number charts, delicate sculptures made with found objects and a fleet of decorated skateboards certainly take the mind into new realms. One can see how some of these strands could, and perhaps have, given rise to our understanding of art, and a lack of training is no barrier to great art. Taken as a whole, though, there is an eerie element of obsession that makes one wonder just where art is heading. David Bowie Is someone who has entertained aliens on earth in his time. He has always defied conventional boundaries in pursuit of his artistic vision. The wildly popular exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum (until 11 Aug) explores his impact on design in general and fashion in particular, his showmanship and ability to set trends. With a fully integrated soundscape, which has the audience gyrating in front of displays, it forms a blueprint for future exhibitions. Tate Britain teams two generations of artists: Patrick Caulfield (until 1 Sept) and Gary Hume. Both work in bright, flat planes of gloss colour on large canvasses, so it would appear that their paintings would enhance one another, but nothing could be further from the truth. A contemporary of David Hockney, Caulfield, who died in 2005, developed a trademark black outline to the objects on his canvas. He reduced spaces to their linear basics, and except for a very early homage to Cubist Juan Gris, he captures urban interiors as objects without revealing a human presence. His work is instantly recognisable and highly decorative. He often plays between the different textures, so he may keep everything in a single basic colour, and then explore the patterning on a curtain, a carpet, or detail the door handles. Hume is a YBA who studied at Goldsmiths, exhibited with Damien Hirst, was collected by Saatchi and was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1996. A more sterling beginning one couldnt hope for and looking at the slick sheen of his red barn door, which was his calling card until he got bored with churning them out, one can understand that collectors went wild. Despite being called one of the greatest artists of his generation by the Tate, his solo show reveals a banality that no amount of gloss paint can disguise. There are weirdly shaped faces, a snowman sculpture, a rather beautiful blackbird and a few swirls to imply a flower, but the work shows no progression and even less contemplation. It simply shows up the stature of the older artist.
The Royal Academys Summer Exhibition (until 18 August) is always greeted with delight by the public, perhaps because it is a jumbled mix of the highbrow and the unknown, placed side by side, leaving the art to make an impact. This year clever hanging has changed the often rather claustrophobic feel of the crammed galleries to a light and airy spaciousness. There are long vistas across the beautiful rooms, to allow large-scale works to connect with each other. It comes as something of a surprise to learn that the numbers have remained constant. As ever, there are works that appeal, and others that make you wonder how they reached the ten percent of submissions that get past the panel. A group of artists over 80 years of age offers a bright and joyous take on life, but there is a general sense of optimism that permeates the show, despite all the economic gloom. Sculpture and architecture are skilfully interwoven throughout, from the African drapery outside the building to Zaha Hadids elegant chrome seating in the shape of a flower. The show ends on a shocking note with Grayson Perrys room of tapestries The Vanity of Small Differences. Forming a grim modern take on Hogarths Rakes Progress, another edition of these will be touring the north of England, where they are set. The BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery (until 15 Sept) is another popular open submission show. It is an international affair, with nearly 2000 entries from 77 countries and this year South Africa features prominently. The winning piece is a simple but powerful portrait of her son by artist Suzanne du Toit, and hanging nearly is a huge canvas by Pretoria-trained artist Lionel Smit of a waitress in a township caf, entitled Kholiswa. It is a close-up of her face, using bold colour to make an impact. There is nothing shocking or cutting edge about the paintings on this show. They are all fairly, almost boringly, traditional portraits of loved ones, family and friends roped into sitting for their picture. Many are head and shoulder portraits, probing what the face reveals. They are quite simply ordinary people caught in their daily lives. There is some photo-realism, and the occasional celebrity, but it is largely a snapshot of European faces of today. Many artists use their children, and even more do self-portraits. One of the few African faces
