The sale also includes pieces by Malcolm Payne, who exhibited in Venice in the 1990s, as well as artworks by recent exhibitors like Willem Boshoff, Wim Botha and Penny Siopis. Roger Ballen and Phumulani Ntuli who are participating with Lebohang Kganye in the South African Pavilion at this year’s Venice Biennale, have artwork in the sale.Abstract with Ndebele Motifs.

In the lead-up to the official opening of the Venice Biennale and the African Art in Venice Forum, as well as the launch of Strauss & Co’s themed online-only auction, Strauss & Co organised a series of educational webinars that you can access on our Strauss & Co YouTube Channel to watch the recorded series.
