“The artist Edgar Degas once said that ‘art is not what you see but what you make others see’. These words ring true in so many ways, and in particular in the context of the significant and important role that Strauss & Co plays in promoting and putting modern and contemporary African art on the world map, for others to see and experience. It will be a pleasure to walk this journey with Strauss & Co as an International Member of the Advisory Board.”
