[Issued by Strauss & Co] The much disputed decision by the Institute for Catholic Education to sell the Cecil Skotnes triptych removed from the Santa Sophia Chapel in Pretoria has had an astounding result. The work titled
The Last Supper realised Strauss & Company's hoped for dream. The panels sold to a private collector who plans to make the work available to a public institution. The pre-sale estimate of R300,000 - 400,000 was overshot by the final price realised of R1,818,880. The work is to be sent to a conservator where it will be restored to its original glory before taking pride of place in the soon to be named museum. The proceeds from the sale are to go to an educational trust.
