STRAUSS&CO NOVEMBER
Strauss & Co is proud to announce it's largest-ever live auction by value, with combined estimates for the 12 November sale in Johannesburg exceeding R80 million. The astonishing range and depth of work on offer - notably by key twentieth-century artists like Maggie Laubser, JH Pierneef, Alexis Preller and Irma Stern - is confirmed by the fact that 26 lots on this sale carry estimates of R1 million, or more.
Pierneef and Stern are Strauss & Co's top selling artists, followed by Alexis Preller. In 2010, Strauss&Co registered the first upswing in value of Preller's work when it sold The Flower King, a late period metaphorical portrait from 1970, for 2.89 million. Preller has five works on sale in Johannesburg, including Apple II, a late intaglio with painted hollow that was produced in 1969 ( estimate R4 - 5 million)
Based in Cape Town and Johannesburg, Strauss & Co is the global leader for South African art.
It holds five line sales annually, including one sale that is solely devoted to contemporary art.
Strauss & Co has sold nine of the ten most expensive paintings ever auctioned in South Africa.
