August art delights

RICH: SA'S RICH ART TOPOGRAPHY GOES UNDER THE HAMMER

- Citizen reporter

In August, Strauss & Co presents two timed online auctions: Horizons: Selected South African Landscapes and Seascapes (closing 19 August at 2 pm) and August ART (closing 18 August at 2 pm).

Horizons: Selected South African Landscapes and Seascapes traces South Africa's rich topography through works by painters who depict the land and seas in diverse forms.

The sale showcases artists' affinity for and appreciation of South African landscapes and seascapes.

Following the widely successful Pierneef etchings and linocut sale, IMPR: Etchings and Linocuts by JH Pierneef, which achieved a 100% sell-through rate, collectors can enjoy Pierneef's Near Golden Gate (estimate R60 000-R80 000), a wonderful watercolour work included in the sale, alongside the small-scale watercolour Farmhouse with Trees (estimate R30 000-R50 000), rendered in warm tones that highlight the artist's mastery of landscape art.
