The Stephan Welz & Co. Fine Art & Collectables Auction - Tretchikoff Hindu Dancer
On 10 and 11 May, Tretchikoff's The Hindu Dancer, which is valued at R1,2 to R1,6m, will be auctioned at Stephan Welz & Co. in Johannesburg.
When it comes to Tretchikoff, who spent most of his working years and life in South Africa, Stephan Welz & Co. was the first local auction house to champion the value of his works, which resulted in the staggering sale of Fruits of Bali in 2008. Valued at R250,000 to R300,000, the Tretchikoff painting sold for a record-breaking R3,4m, nearly 12 times its estimate. The sale resulted in widespread local and even international attention paid to the artist.
More paintings going under the hammer:
Maggie Laubser's Cape Dutch House with Trees, which is estimated at R110,000-R150,000
Jacob Pierneef's 1927 work Veld Landskap, which has an estimated value of R150,000-R200,000
And many more ...
Pre-auction viewing is open to the public from 4 to 9 May.
