September month heralds in the spring season in the SA visual arts community with the hosting of the Joburg Art Fair from the 27- 29th September. This year we are in for a double treat with SAADA (SA Antiques Dealers Association), who are hosting their Fair on the same days as the JAF in Johannesburg. This is good for everyone, and introduces more exposure to what is known as “ cross-over collecting”. Cross-over collecting has nothing to do with floor crossing, sex or dressing - but more about providing more market exposure of quality goods to people who seek the finer things in life.

It seems that the current trend in the SA Art Market is to create a high-quality gallery with great artists and be able to duplicate this in both CT, Jhb. Or if not, then to be a smaller destination gallery – but then share ones stock with other similar galleries in new markets.

This formula of representation in the north – south axis seems to be well used by larger commercial galleries such as Goodman, Read and Stevenson Galleries, as well as the SAADA Fair, but this seems to be were it stops.

There used to be, I believe, an old infrastructure of SANAVA that seemed at some stage to have worked, whereby strong shows from member organizations traded artists and shows and they received exposure through the national network. ‘This would result in a seemingly stronger national culture and identity.

Despite the internet and social media, a network of affiliate galleries would assist in getting amazing talent from one part of the country to another, in order to grow markets and familiarity of new work and ideas in other parts of the country. I say all this as I have seen incredible shows come and go, and the art media - limited

in space - doesn’t always archive all shows well. In addition, if the the current Kirstenbosch Botanical Biennale (which is world class show) traveled from Cape Town to 2-3 destinations I am sure that it would attracted more sales, exposure and entries for the following year.

This national network does not require enormous amounts of money. My shining example of this would be how well thought-out the SPI National Portrait Award was in breaking new ground. In this their first year, they attracted 1783 entrants using one collection point, using what used to be an “out of the way” gallery in Durbanville (now a destination point), and being able to make it travel around the country relatively inexpensively. My bug bear is that the great support of art funders and promoters like BASA, ACT are great and influential in Jhb, and are knowledgeable and familiar with their own artists but less familiar of artists out their region. It would be amazing for parties to place interest in creating a national network of galleries – without the red tape.

Despite all this, technology may well catch up with artists and the market, where there is talk that one day soon, more art will be sold online and online live auctions, the recession, and consumer time and attention constraints will change and drive the nature of selling more online and become more accessible. This last month has seen the likes of Amazon selling art online, and in Germany a TV shopping channel is selling art too. Maybe galleries will be as outdated as DVD rental stores in 5 years time, and the quality of technology and presentation – as well as factoring in, dare I say entertainment elements –would be just so much better. Having said that, I would certainly miss meeting my friends on my annual pilgrimage to the Joburg Art Fair and seeing, for now, the real thing.

Close to 450 entries were received and 97 were shortlisted for final judging, increasing from last year’s 88 Clinching the title, Dot Vermeulen’s piece titled, Desperately Disciplined depicts the mobile nature of images and how it fits into the contemporary visual culture. She received R60 000 and an opportunity to host a solo exhibition at the Pretoria Arts Museum next year.

The runner-up, Jacques Andre du Toit, walked away with R20 000, for his winning piece titled KYK! Ek skiet tennisballe waub .. waub waub waub .. waub w. The artist’s unique work is visual language in the form of crude drawings and ‘mind doodles’. These drawings are combined and traditionally mounted in a frame behind glass.

The five Merit Award winners were, Liberty Charlotte Battson, Theko Boshomane, Haroon Gunn-Salie & Alfred Kamanga (a collaborative piece), Lindi Lombard and Karen Pretorius who

each received R5 000.

The Sasol New Signatures art competition exhibition takes place at the Pretoria Art Museum and is open to the public from 29 August to 13 October 2013. Also exhibiting during this period is Ingrid Bolton, the 2012 Sasol New Signatures winner.

ON THE ART MEDIA RADAR / NEWS | ART TIMES

On the art media radar Concerns about the export of South African culture abroad featured heavily at the Creative Currencies conference that recently took place at UJ. Mail & Guardian. Subtitled, “Accessing opportunities in an expanding marketplace”, the notion of a shrinking marketplace, or a marketplace not fulfilling its potential came to the fore as key organisations presented a piece of research just completed.Organised by the Arts and Culture Trust, a development agency linked to the Arts Affinity initiative of Nedbank, the conference brought together individuals from organisations with a vested interest in the growth of the culture sector. For more go to www.arttimes.co.za Art ‘sold more online than in galleries’

By Alex Hudson: BBC. The art industry is one of the last creative industries to make the digital move - but, with more people buying art online without ever seeing it in real life, it could be that times are already changing.If visitors to London want to see contemporary art, the first port of call has traditionally been the Tate Modern. In 2012, a record 5.3 million visitors journeyed through its doors.More people in the UK visit art galleries and museums than attend Premier League football matches but record numbers are flocking to the internet too. And buying art is the becoming an industry norm. Artists “like nothing better than manipulating reality so we can’t tell the difference between real and fake” In an industry worth an estimated £40bn, that’s quite a big business to tap into.

Britain exporting £5.5m of art every day

By MARTYN McLAUGHLIN : THE value of art exports leaving Britain for foreign shores has surged to its highest level since the height of the financial crisis five years ago, according to new research. In a sign that wealthy foreign investors are increasingly prepared to dip into their pockets for lucrative artwork, buyers from abroad paid close to £2 billion for art and cultural exports in the year to May 2012 - £5.5 million a day - with exports of modern art more than doubling in value in the space of a year. The figures, compiled by Sweet & Maxwell, a legal information provider, reveal the value of the art export market swelled by 32 per.

But as attitudes to the country change, more and more artists are fleeing the urban crush Charlotte Higgins: The Guardian, Bedwyr Williams is gazing out of the window when we speak on the phone, out through his Caernarfonshire garden towards the south-west tip of Anglesey. “I can do one thing or the other,” says the artist, who represented Wales at this year’s Venice Biennale. “I can negotiate having a social life living in a city, or I can be an artist. I found .

The Guardian: Matthew Caines : Norman Rockwell’s unique oil work, Willie Gillis: Package from Home could be yours, for the bargain price of $4.85m. So what are you waiting for? You don’t even have leave the house to pick it up; it’s being sold online in Amazon’s new fine art and collectibles section, Amazon Art – and to sweeten the deal, postage and packaging is free.It might sound like a joke, but Amazon Art is very real.

The Guardian: The Financial Report is a playful exhibition that looks at the sometimes difficult relationship between art and money For his contribution to the Cologne Art Fair in 2008, German artist Christian Jankowski set up Kunstmarket TV, a live stream of two presenters offering art works for sale in the format of a home shopping network. The presenters were actual telesales experts and the works were by prominent contemporary artists such as Liam Gillick and Yoshotomi Nara. The items were presented one by one, the screen covered in the overloaded, visual barrage of TV . For more go to www. arttimes.co.za Watch: A Welding Robot That’s Learning to Create Art Forgeries

BY KYLE VANHEMERT : The collision of art and technology takes many forms. One recurring, especially straightforward one is a robot with a paintbrush. It’s easy to see the fascination; there’s something poetic about the idea of imbuing a machine with the soul of an artist. But while many of these projects involve some sort of effort to approximate human creativity in mechanical form, with e-David, the goal is a bit different. Its creators are simply trying to build a machine that can paint perfect copies of other paintings-a flawless mechanical forger. In other words, instead of giving their robot an artist’s soul, they’re trying to lend it a painter’s eye. For more go to www.arttimes.co.za

artist Strijdom van der Merwe’s work titled Calling the Herd was unveiled at the junction of the R339 and R340 outside Plett during the launch of the event.

Revealing what inspired him to make the interactive work consisting of trumpet-like funnels coming together to form a tree, Van der Merwe said: “This is a holy place where elephants used to walk. I would like them to return to this place so I made something to invite them to come back.” The elephant trunks sounded very similar to the call of the animals as the artists and community members attending the launch blew the ‘trumpets’ with the help of mouthpieces in the tree trunk.

South African Artists Birthdays for September

02 September : John Smith John Smith was born in Worcester in the Cape in 1944. He comes from a family of artists and studied with Dutch born artist Johan Oldert. John has been a professional painter since 1974 and works in oils, pastels and watercolours. He taught art privately for 30 years.

06 September : Gerard Bhengu Gerard Bhengu was born on 6 September 1910 to Eugenia and Timothy Bhengu, who lived in southern KwaZulu-Natal at Centecow, a Roman Catholic mission station. As a child, Bhengu first showed signs of creativity by drawing with charcoal from the fire on the walls of his homestead. He received his early education at Centecow and his teacher, Albert Duma, who spotted his talent, gave him a set of crayons. He was further encouraged

by Mr. Jowett, the schools inspector, who presented him with a watercolour set. In 1925 Bhengu was treated for tuberculosis by Dr Max Kohler in the Centecow mission hospital. He payed for his treatment with his artworks.

06 September : Alexis Preller As a young student Preller had indeed been fascinated by the work of the French Post-Impressionists Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) and Paul Gauguin (1848–1903). Their use of bright arbitrary colour and their imaginative transformation of nature appealed to his own artistic impulses. In South Africa there were no opportunities to study the masters of European modernism, and it is therefore not surprising that Preller would have found local inspiration in the examples of Irma Stern (1894–1966) and Maggie Laubser (1886–1973).

09 September : Pieter Wenning Born in the Netherlands, Pieter Wenning came to live in South Africa in 1905. Though he had settled in the Transvaal, he travelled all over South Africa and developed a special liking for the Cape, which became the subject of most of his paintings. In 1916, Wenning moved to the Cape, became a full time painter and started working on his first solo exhibition. Wenning’s bold impasto brush stroke style and the controlled and sensitive way that he used colour led to him achieving master status in painting.

26

12 September : Fred Page Frederick Hutchinson Page was an artist who is regarded as South Africa’s foremost Surrealist painter. He died in 1984 at the age of 76 having produced a body of work which is remarkable not only for its unique personal imagery, but which is also one of the few examples, in the 20th century, of a painter who portrays with some accuracy, the particular architectural features of the city in which he lived.

15 September : Mikhael Subotzky Mikhael Subotzky was born in Cape Town in 1981.

He graduated from Michaelis School of Fine Art with Distinctions He won the Standard Bank Artist Award in 2012. He is currently based in Johannesburg. He is represented by Goodman Gallery and Studio La Citta. He is also an associate member of Magnum Photos.

16 September : Maude Sumner Maud Sumner (1902 - 1985) was a highly gifted and sensitive artist; in the words of Ridley Beeton, a person of “infinite variety”. Sumner’s oeuvre includes painting, drawing, poetry and writing. Beeton explains that in her poem “Afterwards”, written in the latter years of her life, she reveals her concern with the quality and standing of her work and whether or not it held sufficient meaning to her existence. She is considered one of the most international of South Africa’s artists, due to her experience of French, English and South African life. http://www.johansborman.co.za/artist-biographies/sumner-maud/

22 September: Douglas Portway Douglas Portway was born in Johannesburg in 1922. He studied fine art at the Witwatersrand Technical College and later taught at the University of Johannesburg. After his first solo exhibition in 1945 he gained such a reputation that he became the first South African to be awarded a travel grant from the Institute of International Education. He left South Africa for good and travelled Europe in 1957, finally settling in Ibiza in 1959. After moving to Cornwall in 1967, he became part of the British abstract movement of the 1950’s and 1960s. Portway’s work is often classified as abstract expressionism and always retained some form of mystery.

24 September : Marjorie Wallace Awarded The Order of Ikhamanga in Bronze for outstanding contributions to the visual arts in 2005.

Marjorie Wallace was born in Edinburgh in 1925, and trained at the Edinburgh College of Art, making such an impression with her early work that she became the youngest person to be elected to the Royal Scottish Academy of Art. In 1953, after an extensive European tour, she was working in Paris when she met and married the writer Jan Rabie, later a leading member of South Africa’s “Sestigers”, the young Turks of Afrikaans literature in the 1960s.

25 September: John Hodgkiss John Hodgkiss was born on 25 September 1966 in Johannesburg. He studied fine art Rhodes University. Here he also studied under the renowned photographer Obie Oberholzer.

John Hodgkiss was based in Johannesburg. His close friend, fellow artist and colloborator, Steve Cohen says of Hodgkiss, “But inside the photographer was always the minimally producing, thoroughly genius artist, a magnificent talent, mostly suppressed. John let himself be thoroughly used by the art community, and he abused himself in providing service, running the machine at the wrong pace, working Da Vinci hours, sitting up impossibly late at the computer screen for decades.” Over the last several years he worked on numerous projects with the artist, William Kentridge, photographing extensively in his studio and on several of his theatre productions, and contributing to a number of books on Kentridge.

30 September: Local Artist: Tracy Payne Tracy Payne was born in 1965 in Cape Town, South Africa. She graduated from the Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town, with a BA Fine Art in 1987. After graduating Tracy spent a couple of years working and travelling abroad in Europe and England. On her return to South Africa she chose to be selfemployed and freelance in various creative fields. She created her own fashion label, worked as an illustrator, set designer and scenic artist, undertook both private and corporate painting commissions. In her early career she was also involved in teaching art part time. Over the years Tracy has chosen to focus more and more on her fine art career and is presently working as a full time artist from her studio in Observatory, Cape Town.

London Letter Read more at http://london-letter.com

When you think of Mexico and the revolution of 1910, the image of a swarthy man with a magnificent moustache and a sombrero comes to mind. His name was Zapata, and his image was consciously promoted, along with that of fellow revolutionary ‘Pancho’ Villa by artists rekindling a sense of national pride and cultural identity. The great art that defines this period was executed in huge bold murals, so the Royal Academy’s exhibition Mexico: A Revolution in Art 1910 – 1940 (until 29 Sept) is something of a misnomer.

While Diego Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros, the three greats of the time, are represented in a painting each, this collection of work in the small Sackler gallery offers at best an interesting backdrop to the era. It includes lesser known artists and foreigners who visited the country at the time: people such as the English artist Edward Burra, whose two large watercolours give a flavour of the intoxicating allure of this explosive place, but who had to leave because he was struck down with dysentery.

Photographs portray in graphic terms the street executions, the poverty and the dignity of the people. They all give a glimpse of the enormous diversity of the country’s attraction: not only its people and traditions, but the light and the ancient monuments.

Without the murals that distinguish it, though, this show could only ever be a pale imitation of the real thing. There is just enough here to whet your appetite for Mexico’s art, but it doesn’t really leave you feeling you have experienced much of it.

Tate Britain has had a radical rehang as part of its ongoing change, and recently unveiled a chronological display of its British art which now shows off many gems which were languishing in storage. Presented around the outer perimeter of the Millbank galleries, the new display has proved hugely popular with the public, judging by what could have been a quiet Monday afternoon.

Beginning with Tudor portraits, it not only becomes a social history of Britain but a chronicle of changing costume and habits. It is a fascinating tool for any student of art to see how the country and its manners altered. There are sweep-

SA ART TIMES. September 2013

ing views of a Belsize manor house with the city glimpsed as smoking chimneys in the distance, people swimming under Westminster Bridge and Canaletto’s huge view of the Old Horse Guards from St James – surprisingly unchanged.

Britain’s nautical power is reflected in great shipping scenes, classical mythology gives rise to grand canvasses, we see Stubbs’s horses and Gainsborough’s portraits. Joseph Wright of Derby depicts the eruption of Vesuvius in the late 1700s, its destruction echoed later by a quartet of John Martin’s Victorian apocalyptic scenes. Constable portrays an idyllic English countryside but the best Turners remain in the adjoining Clore Galleries. Stepping into the Victorian era, a huge gallery allows for double hanging and reveals the shock of the Pre-Raphaelites, but also a Stanley Spencer, Bomberg’s Mud Bath and the exquisite beauty of Whistler’s Nocturnes.

Not beyond the war, though. Passing through the bookshop, it all seems to fall apart. No doubt that is in part because the rooms now look old-fashioned and cramped with the larger scale of modern work, especially some of the sculpture which crowds out everything else. Epstein’s Jacob and the Angel, a large alabaster work from 1940, needs space around it, rather than being squeezed into a tiny crossroads of a room. Henry Moore’s reclining nudes fare better, but still are best seen outdoors. From there the work simply reflects the cacophony of the twentieth century. Hockney’s A Bigger Splash is seen through the red poles of an Anthony Caro sculpture, Bridget Riley’s pop art makes a colourful pattern, Hoyland and Hodgkin add another dash of colour. There are two early Lucien Freuds, an ugly, boring Damien Hirst (a desk in a glass case) and stepping into the Chapman Family Collection feels like walking into an African curio shop, until you see the Big Mac signs on these ethnographic figures. Perhaps then it’s time to head across the river to the Tate Modern, where there is more breathing space for this stuff. If the BP Walk Through British Art is how the company salves it conscience though, one can only applaud its corporate sponsorship.

Two African artists are being shown in tandem at the

Tate Modern until 22 September and although both create a dialogue between their African roots and European culture, they could not differ more. Ibrahim El-Salahi – A Visionary Modernist is the substantial retrospective of an elderly artist considered a major influence in the modernist movements in Africa and the Arab world. He hails from the Sudan where he trained and, after a stint in London, took up a cultural post, only to be incarcerated in prison. This is a major body of work from early realistic portraits, through his experimentation in the Sixties using his calligraphic background, his prison notebook to the colourful detail of his tree-series and back to recent monochromatic drawings inspired by Spain’s Alhambra.

Meschac Gaba’s Museum of Contemporary African Art reflects this middle-aged Benin artist’s attempt to find a space for his own art in the context of a European museum.

The Tate has recently purchased this 12-room display, which evolved between 1997 and 2002 as it travelled between galleries in Europe. It ranges from a bicycle-powered catalogue in the library, to a games room with tables depicting the Benin flag, a marriage room which documents Gaba’s wedding to his Dutch fiancée in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and, for an elite few, dinner prepared in the museum restaurant. While emphasising the importance of collaboration and the viewer’s participation, it is ironic that so much of what formed the interaction is now for display purposes only – like the bicycles which could be used to navigate the city at Documenta 11 in Kassel, or the trinkets that could be bought from the shop when it was displayed in Rotterdam. This ephemeral installation has in fact become a caricature of itself, the very thing it was commenting on.

Cheryl Curnick “Painting is to my brush, an expression of the soul of the hand, that holds it” BEHIND MY BRUSH My brush has always experimented with new directions, sometimes getting lost, but mostly, behaving vibrantly and creatively!

After completing a recent workshop with the well known mixed media artist, Mary Todd Beam, my future direction became very clear.

I was totally inspired to combine mixed media,with watercolours, (which I had painted for many years) into the Collage medium.

Opening Night (watercolour)

The fluid acrylics used at the workshop, together with the iridescent, interference paints, and gel mediums, were new directions, which combined with personal symbols, gave me the freedom of expression that MY BRUSH desired!

My brush is currently holding two day workshops in this direction of Collage, at “The Figures & Form Studio”, in Parkhurst. JHB. www.cherylcurnick.co.za cheryl.curnick@gmail.com “Celebrate Your Creative Self ” (North Light Books) ISBN 1-58180-102-5

SA ANTIQUE DEALERS’ ASSOCIATION 50TH ANTIQUES FAIR 27-29 SEPTEMBER | ART TIMES

SAADA Celebrates it’s 50th year in Style The South African Antique Dealers Association (SAADA) was established in 1963 and represents 53 specialist dealers nationally. The hottest invite this year is to the SAADA 50th Golden anniversary that will be celebrated at the annual antique fair held at the Wanderers Club from the 26th to 29th of September in Johannesburg. For 50 years SAADA members have been helping clients identify the golden thread running through all areas of art and antiques. With the origins of gold formation now being thought to originate when two Neutron stars collide an event that is as rare as the metal itself, it is no wonder we celebrate our 50th anniversaries as golden events. This year SAADA will proudly dazzle one and all and will see the display of some of the rarest and most desirable creations across all genres.

In 2012 we adopted a ‘Green’ theme that we called “RECYCLE THE PAST, ENSURE OUR FUTURE”. With many of our natural resources under threat we wanted to highlight the benefits of renewable and sustainable production and the protection of our natural resources, especially the rhino which faces extinction within our lifetimes. As we celebrate our golden anniversary and look back over fifty years we see the effect of the developing modern world with its consumer based philosophy and a “throwaway mentality”. In the next fifty years we will continue to show clients the benefits in buying antiques as their carbon footprint has gone and Green will become the new Gold.

The sixth annual FNB Joburg Art Fair 27 - 29 September 2013 : Sandton Convention Centre www.fnbjoburgartfair.co.za The FNB Joburg Art Fair, which was founded by Ross Douglas in 2008, is the only international art fair on the African Continent and the first art fair to focus on contemporary art from Africa. The sixth edition of the event takes place from 27-29 September 2013 in the Sandton Convention Centre, in the heart of Johannesburg’s business district.

The Fair is curated to give the 10 000 people that pass through its doors the best possible opportunity to experience African contemporary art in all its forms. Unlike most art fairs that rely heavily on galleries for the show, Artlogic has developed a hybrid approach, where the 5000m2 Fair is shared by commercial galleries and a curated Special Projects Programme.

Some of the highlights visitors to the 2013 FNB Joburg Art Fair can expect: FEATURED ARTIST : DAVID GOLDBLATT

Internationally acclaimed South African photographer David Goldblatt, who, at the age of 82 was recently awarded an Infinity Lifetime Achievement Award by the International Center for Photography (ICP) in New SASOL Sasol New Signatures Winners 2013 announced York, will present the series The Structure of Things Then - and After. The exhibition will combine a col-

lection of photographs taken during and after apartheid to show Goldblatt’s concern that, whilst apartheid has ended, some facets of South African life have not changed. Goldblatt will combine images taken from the 1960s in and around Johannesburg of structures that are places of worship, with recent photographs of public art installed by the new government.

PIRELLI PROJECT : NANDIPHA MNTAMBO

Nandipha Mntambo will be presenting her new photographic series ...everyone carries a shadow. The series, which was conceived for the Pirelli space, is based on the Paso Doble, a dance that has its roots in the sport of

bullfighting. As an extension of her previous video work, Paso Doble 2011, this series of seven photographs will focus on dance and the movement of bodies.

JOBURG ART FAIR 2013 | ART TIMES

CIRCA GALLERY : ROGER BALLEN CIRCA gallery will present a solo show of photographer Roger Ballen’s work.

Images will be selected from past series, going 30 years back. They will be taken from, among others, Outland, Boarding House, Shadow Chamber, Dorps and Platteland. In addition to this, Ballen and Die Antwoord will be at the Fair for a book signing of I Fink U Freeky, which was recently published

by Random House Prestel.

LAGOSPHOTO FESTIVAL AND ARTS ALIVE Artlogic has partnered with LagosPhoto Festival and Arts Alive – City of Johannesburg - to present the exhibition Phantasms of the Non-City, a selection of photographs from the 2013 edition of LagosPhoto Festival. The show examines the development of urban centres in Africa and how the technical advancement of photography has transformed our sense of place in a globally connected world.

FRENCH INSTITUTE: AFRICAN EMERGING PHOTOGRAPHY With the support of the French Institute Artlogic will host the exhibition African Emerging Photography. The show, curated by Michket Krifa and Laura Serani, Artistic Directors of the 8th and 9th Bamako Encounters, is a collection of the work of a new generation of African photographers.

VIDEO ART POWERED BY SAMSUNG Artlogic is pleased to announce a new partnership with Samsung. The forward-thinking electronics company has a long-standing relationship with the arts. Since the founding of the Samsung Foundation of Culture in 1965,

Samsung has made significant contributions to invigorating arts and culture through an expansive roster of activities. Together with the sixth annual FNB Joburg Art Fair, they have now turned their focus to the medium of video art.

Artlogic has commissioned South African artist Mohau Modisakeng to create a video installation for the new project, Video Art Powered by Samsung. The work will be unveiled at this year’s Fair, where it will be screened on the new Samsung Ultra HD 85-inch TV. The video installation will be shown at LOOP 2014 in Barcelona with the support of the Spanish government and in the frame of the partnership Artlogic has initiated with LOOP.

FNB JOBURG ART FAIR: TALKS PROGRAMME 2013 Each edition of the FNB Joburg Art Fair has a dedicated Talks Programme.

BUSINESS ART

Online Auction sales take off

By Michael Coulson The link forged earlier this year between Stephan Welz & Co and Londonbased online sales vehicle the-saleroom.com is increasingly paying off. After starting slowly, at last week’s Joburg sale internet sales contributed 6% of the total hammer price of R12.1m (fine art plus other items -- books, maps, furniture, cars, etc). Simon Berti, sales manager of the-saleroom.com’s parent company, ATG Media, hopes that this could top 25% or 30% in a year’s time, and will be a key factor in fostering international interest in SA art.

No fewer than 54 bidders, from 25 countries, registered to bid through thesaleroom.com. The sale comprised 701 lots, of which 415 sold, 387 on the floor and 28 through the internet. There were 170 bids through the internet.

ATG Media is the hi-tech company that has evolved out of the Auction Trade Gazette, a fuddyduddy weekly trade journal that has itself been transformed into a full-colour glossy. Last year it also produced 5 000 auction catalogues, handling the full process from originating material to mailing the finished product. It was represented at 2 400 live auctions and an indication of the rapid growth of the market is that last year alone it hosted 1 400 auctions that brought GBP28m of total sales to date of GBP125m since the service started in 2006.

The company sees SA art as a major growth market. Its relationship with Stephan Welz & Co is not exclusive: it also works with the relatively new Cape auction house, Provenance, and recently entered a joint venture with theauctioneer.co.za. It has also diversified into industrial and commercial auctions through in April acquiring the world’s leader in industrial and commercial online auctions, BidSpotter Inc of Seattle, whose UK site it has run for over three years.

BidSpotter averages 90 auctions a month, and has so far been represented at almost 15 000 auctions by 1 000 auctioneers in 16 countries, including all 50 states of the US. The link with ATG is one of the commercial innovations introduced by Stephan Welz & Co’s new chairman and major shareholder Alan Demby, of the SA Gold Coin Exchange. Though online buyers pay an extra premium, if sales continue to grow at this rate other auction houses will surely have to follow suit.

SA ART TIMES. September 2013

Tretchikoff’s Daughter of Java (est R600 000-R1.2m sold R1.01M)

Fair result for Stephan Welz & Co’s JHB Sale

By Michael Coulson Apart from the failure to sell two Pierneefs, Stephan Welz & Co had a satisfactory sale of visual art in Joburg last week, with a fair sell-through rate and grosses not far from the low estimates, especially in the (admittedly small) afternoon session of minor work.

In all, there were 160 lots that could be considered SA art. Of these, 43 were in the afternoon session, of which 27 (62.8%) sold for R257 000, 98% of the low estimate of just over R263 000. Of 117 lots in the main, evening, session, 80 (68.4%) sold for just under R8.3m, about 83.5% of the low estimate of about R9.94m (as usual, reported prices are on the hammer-plus basis, estimates just on the hammer price). In total, thus, 107 sales were about 67% by lot, with a gross of R8.55m being 84% of the low estimate of R10.2m.

Apart from the Pierneefs (estimates R600 000-R900 000 and R900 000R1.5m) , the only one of the top 11 estimates not to sell was a Freida Lock portrait of (Gregoire) Boonzaaier, estimated at R400 000-R600 000).

There were two seven-digit sales: R1.12m for an Irma Stern landscape (est R1m-R1.5m) and R1.01m for Tretchikoff’s Daughter of Java (est R600 000-R1.2m). Two other Tretchis had mixed results: a still life estimated at R400 000-R600 000 went for R616 000, but a nude with the same estimate reached only R470 000.

Of other top lots, a Gwelo Goodman scene of Venice fetched a below-estimate R448 000 (est R500 000-R700 000) and a Robert Hodgins Businessman was also below estimate at R291 000 (est R400 000-R600 000).

Bringing up the rear were an Alexis Preller still life at R358 000 (est R250 000-R400 000) and Anton van Wouw’s bronze Dagga Smoker at R280 000 (est R250 000-R300 000). The surprising choice of a cover lot, Billie Zangewa’s silk stitched on silk If Not Now Then When?, estimated at R80 000-R150 000, went for R84 000.

Of most represented artists, all five Walter Battisses and Boonzaaiers sold, four of five Carl Buchners, all four Frank Spears, three of four Adriaan Boshoffs and one of four each by Peter Clarke (in contrast to his good demand in recent sales) and Piet van Heerden.

ARTLife | SPI NATIONAL PORTRAIT AWARD 2013

Heather Gourlay-Conyngham wins the SPI National Portrait Award 2013

Heather Gourlay-Conyngham

Heather Gourlay-Conyngham : “A Young Man” Oil on linen canvas : 177 x 80cm Heather Gourlay-Conyngham has won the first ever Sanlam Private Investments (SPI) National Portrait Award for her nude male portrait entitled A Young Man (177 x 80cm, oil on canvas). The award, which aims to celebrate and showcase the best original portrait artwork in South Africa, was announced at a ceremony at the Rust-en-Vrede Art Gallery in Durbanville 27 August 2013.

Gourlay-Conyngham’s winning portrait beat a staggering 1 783 adjudicated entries to the top prize of R100 000. It will join 39 other selected entries in an exhibition to be held at Rust-en-Vrede until 8 October, whereafter the 40 works will tour South Africa in an exhibition presented in collaboration with

the Sanlam Art Collection. Stefan Hundt, head of SPI’s art advisory service and convenor of the judging panel, commended the judges for their “exceptional dedication in making a very difficult decision, given the large number of entries received”. The independent panel consisted of Hayden Proud, curator for Historical Painting and Sculptures at the Iziko SA National Gallery in Cape Town, Vulindlela Nyoni, a lecturer in printmaking at the University of Stellenbosch, and artist and art teacher Susanne du Toit. Du Toit recently scooped the prestigious 2013 BP Portrait Award in the United Kingdom.

Hundt said, “Gourlay-Conyngham’s portrait was chosen for her exceptional skill, the subject choice, the sincerity of the relationship between artist and subject, and the fact that her interpretation challenged convention and pushed beyond the normal and the accepted.”

Born in Durban in 1956, Gourlay-Conyngham now lives in Hilton in the midlands of KwaZulu-Natal. She has worked as an art teacher and painter since graduating with a BA Fine Arts from the University of Natal in 1978 and a Higher Education Diploma in 1980 from the University of South Africa. Her paintings focus primarily on the human form.

Daniël Kriel, CEO of SPI, said the outstanding quality and standard of the entries received was testament to the range and depth of talent South Africa had to offer. “Portraiture in South Africa has had a rich, and at times controversial, history that reflects the country’s social and political evolution.

It is within this context that we are proud to partner with the Rust-en-Vrede Art Gallery to celebrate and showcase the best of original portraiture in South Africa.” He said art is a passion for many of SPI’s clients, and is of increasing investment interest. “We feel particularly connected to the platform of portraiture, since it resonates with SPI’s vision and aims. Our expertise lies in wealth management, where we nurture and value close personal relationships with our clients. In the same way, there are few things more intimate than the relationship between the artist and the subject in a portrait.”

The national touring exhibition can be seen at the University of Johannesburg Art Gallery from 24 October to 13 November, and at Stephan Welz & Co at the Alphen Estate in Constantia, Cape Town, from 26 November to 10 January 2014. It will be hosted by the KwaZulu-Natal Society of Arts during April 2014.

STRAUSS & CO’S SOUTH AFRICAN SALE | BUSINESS ART

Stern Scintillates at Strauss’s October Auction

A selection of paintings establishing Irma Stern as a leading Modernist painter and, furthermore, as an intrepid collector of top quality African art, will be offered at Strauss & Co’s 21 October 2013 auction at the Vineyard Hotel in Newlands, Cape Town.

Stern’s 1923 painting, Composition (estimated at R9 000 000 – 12 000 000), confirms the South African-born artist’s close links with German Expressionist artists, says Emma Bedford, Senior Art Specialist at Strauss & Co. Stern spent seven years in Berlin from 1913 to 1920 making the acquaintance of the leading Expressionist painters of Die Brücke group and was especially drawn to Max Pechstein. In 1918 she became a founding member of the revolutionary Novembergruppe and in 1919 had her first featured exhibition at Gurlitt Gallery, Berlin’s most prominent art salon.

Composition encapsulates Stern’s visualisation of an African paradise. The central figure, a young woman with beaded hair cocooned in a flame-coloured orange cloak, was inspired by Stern’s visit to Umgababa in 1922.

The young girl at left reclines with her eyes closed as if dreaming while the child holds a yellow butterfly in one hand and a bunch of grapes in the other.

Surrounded by Proteas bursting through green foliage that frames glimpses of the mountains and ocean beyond, all are contained in a shallow space which, pressed against the picture plane, owes much to the development of early Modernism that Stern encountered during her years in Berlin.

Buli Stool with Fruit (estimated at R4 000 000 – 5 000 000) is a remarkable still life painting, foregrounding the Buli stool that remains one of the most valuable items in Stern’s collection. This Luba caryatid stool originated from the village of Buli in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where a number of exceptional carvings were produced in the late 19th and early 20th century by a master craftsman and his school. Comparable to the Prestige stool of the Buli master in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Stern’s Buli stool confirms the artist’s unfailing eye for quality and her instinctive SA ART TIMES. September 2013

response to objects of rare beauty.

As art historians have suggested, it is likely that Stern would have acquired her stool in Europe through her contact in the 1920s with a number of German Expressionist artists, several of whom had begun to collect carvings from Africa soon after the turn of the 20th century. This powerful female figure that literally and symbolically supported the seated chief, towers above an array of gourds and papayas – forms expressive of fertility and continuity.

Magnolias and Fruit (estimated at R8 000 000 – 10 000 000) was painted in the late 1940s when Stern, by critical consensus, was at the height of her powers. The substantial size of the painting gains even more impact from the scale of the flowers that appear to burst beyond the confines of the frame. Their creamy, fleshy petals are accentuated by Stern’s superb impasto applied expertly with a palette knife. The deep green leaves with their contrasting sculptural forms and the bowl of fruit with ripening figs heighten the sensuality of this painting, embodying Stern’s visceral response to flowers and fruit.

Strauss & Co is the global market leader in South African art and has sold the five highest-priced Stern paintings in South Africa, according to Stephan Welz, Strauss & Co’s MD and auctioneer.

BONHAMS SOUTH AFRICAN SALE | BUSINESS ART

Upcoming South African Sale at Bonhams Auction: 02 October 2013, 2pm : New Bond Street London : http://www.bonhams.com/southafricanart other Kentridge artworks on offer, a monotype from the ‘Pit’ series (£12,000– 18,000), acquired from the artist’s first solo show in 1979 by one of his fellow actors at the Market Theatre, Johannesburg.

Hannah O’Leary, Head of South African Art at Bonhams, comments “As the African emerging economies continue to grow, this year we have seen a surge of interest in the investment potential of art from the continent from new and existing collectors alike, with the South African art market leading the way. Bonhams is at the forefront of this exciting and dynamic market, and we are delighted to offer another wonderful selection of artworks by the very best South African Masters.”

Bonhams London continues to lead the international market for South African art. Their ZAR 63 million auction in March this year broke several world records, lead by Vladimir Tretchikoff’s most iconic work, the ‘Chinese Girl’, which sold for £982,050 (ZAR13.8m). They intend to continue this trend with a magnificent selection of artworks on offer in their 2 October auction, many of which are seen on the open market for the very first time.

Irma Stern continues to be one of South Africa’s most highly-prized artists.

With a variety of excellent examples of her work on offer, from sensuous portraits to sumptuous still lifes, all eyes will undoubtedly be on her ‘Malay Bride’ (£1-1.5million). This heavenly image represents the peak of her mature expression in the early 1940s. With its iridescent golden hues and the sitter’s enigmatic appeal, complete with the artist’s original Zanzibar frame, collectors will recognise this as a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity to acquire one of Stern’s masterpieces.

Known as a pioneer of modern South African Art, Gerard Sekoto attained near mythic status as the exiled father of black painting in South Africa. Following the successful retrospective ‘Song for Sekoto’ at the Wits Art Museum earlier this year, a variety of his ‘pre-exile’ artworks are included in this auction. Two resonant oil paintings, ‘Waiting’ (£70,000-100,000) and ‘Two men sitting on a pavement’ (£40,000-60,000), as well as the gouaches ‘In the Kitchen’ (£15,000-20,000) and ‘Wash Day’ (£15,000-20,000), were created during the period considered the pinnacle of his lifelong artistic achievement and are certain to draw competitive bidding.

Another artist from the neglected tradition, Dumile Feni, played an important role in cultivating a unique form of expression that articulated the repressive social, economic and political conditions of his time. His bronze sculpture ‘Applause’ (£30,000-50,000) is another exciting lot on offer, which is anticipated to attract keen interest from the most discerning collectors.

The animated films, prints, drawings, installations and opera projects of South Africa’s foremost contemporary artist, William Kentridge, have entered numerous important private and public collections around the world.

Bonhams are offering a wonderful array of works that represent the wideranging talents of this truly multi-media artist; from his iconic animated films, sculpture in bronze and compositions on acetate, to original charcoal drawings and monumental linoleum prints. ‘6 Films’ (£30,000-50,000), comprising a series of three to eight minute films, published as a video catalogue after the completion of the sixth film of the ‘Soho Eckstein’ series should garner particular interest from institutions and private collectors alike.
