Strauss & Co unveils the Starcke Collection in November Auction Week
The Citizen
|November 14, 2025
Strauss & Co presents The Starcke Collection of African Art, an extraordinary private collection assembled by the late Anna Starcke, journalist, sociopolitical analyst and passionate patron of African culture.
This timed online auction will close from 2pm on Wednesday, 19 November and forms part of Strauss & Co's November Auction Week in Johannesburg.
Starcke's lifelong love affair with African art began with a single moment on Jeppe Street in Johannesburg. Passing Totem Meneghelli Gallery on her way to work at the Carlton Centre, she noticed a West African figurine in the window.
As she described it, the sculpture whispered "Hey! ...Psst!" and she walked inside, heart racing, to put down a deposit. It was the first piece of her collection.
Born near Frankfurt in 1936 and evacuated during WWII, Starcke sought adventure and possibility beyond postwar Europe.
She married artist Helmut Starcke and they sailed to Cape Town.
