Strauss & Co’s latest live virtual sale takes place on Tuesday 28 June 2022 and includes three sessions of fine art, including a session devoted entirely to Abstract Art created in South Africa, titled In/Tangible: South African Abstract Art.

In advance of William Kentridge’s large-scale exhibition at London’s Royal Academy (RA) later on this month, Strauss & Co is delighted to present four major works on paper by this internationally celebrated artist from Johannesburg.

The silver department has consigned an array of wonderful pieces for the February Online sale to suit any pocket and home.

Strauss & Co has become synonymous with top quality art, decorative arts and jewellery. The latest addition to its portfolio, fine wine, is the result of a successful collaboration between Wine Cellar fine wine merchants and expert sommelier Higgo Jacobs.

German-born Namibian painter Adolph Jentsch is lauded for capturing the endless vistas and unique light and ambiance of his adopted country’s expansive landscapes, and three stand-out examples of his work are highlights of Strauss & Co’s upcoming May Virtual Live auction. The earliest of the three was painted in 1938, soon after the artist’s arrival in the country that was to be ‘home’ for the rest of his life.

Every August, South Africa marks Women’s Month in tribute to a march on 9 August 1956 in which more than 20 000 women converged on the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest the extension of Pass Laws to women.

Strauss & Co is pleased to announce a special artist focus on Dr Esther Mahlangu, in the Contemporary Session of its forthcoming virtual live auction, taking place on 11-12 October 2021.
