JOHANNESBURG – Irma Stern, the Cape painter who decisively modernised South African painting a century ago, forms an important part of Strauss & Co’s premier Evening Sale, which take place at 7pm on Tuesday, 28 May 2024 in Johannesburg. The 85-lot catalogue of modern and contemporary art is anchored by Stern’s important and paradisiacal 1930 portrait of a seated young woman, Cape Girl with Fruit (estimate on request).
