TAF15 16th – 19th July 2015 The Turbine Art Fair (TAF15) brought to you by The Forum Company, returns to the iconic Turbine Hall in Newtown for a third year. TAF15 is a platform for galleries, curators and other art organisations to promote emerging and established talents in an accessible and enjoyable way. In doing this TAF aims to promote new work and talent and to create a new art audience and collector base. Exhibitors whether galleries, collectives or dealers have been invited to exhibit contemporary artwork priced below R40 000.00. Individual artists are able to participate either as part of a collective or by applying to one of the special projects. TAF15 is a notable event and all applications have been carefully considered to ensure compliance with the core values TAF15 and its organisers. “Visitors to TAF15 can expect to see over 40 galleries and exhibits showcasing the best contemporary and emerging African talent. TAF is not just an art fair! Visitors to the fair can expect live music daily, artisan food and drink, books and publications children’s programme and much more!” says Glynis Hyslop, Managing Director of The Forum Company. Visitors will also be able to take part in the daily interactive talks programme. STAEDTLER will again host TAF’s children’s area allowing young budding ‘artists’ to be creative whilst their parents enjoy the TAF.

RE-APPRAISING PIERNEEF The Talk will refer to the dedicated Pierneef Exhibition running concurrently at the Standard Bank Gallery Background to the Exhibition, the process of bringing it together. A discussion on the historical and current values of Pierneef’s work, why his work has remained relevant. Speakers will differentiate values within an artist’s body of work – from medium (works on paper, editions vs. oil on canvas) to period and subject matter. Speakers: Wilhelm van Rensburg (Curator of exhibition) & Ruarc Peffers (Strauss & Co) 4. CREATIVE COLLABORATIONS – Art & Popular Culture Art breathes new life into design and vice versa, intersections between the visual arts and other creative disciplines.

WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT TAF14 “What a fantastic show. Great art, great food and in a great location – Turbine Hall is magnificent. Turbine Art Fair was a superb showcase of all that is brilliant about South Africa – a thriving art scene with some serious talent, ingredients that make for delicious eats profiling superb kitchen skills, and service that is second to none. The vibe of TAF was infectious and the addition of a kids programme inspired – ensuring that the arts in South Africa continues to grow with new generations. London may very soon be disposed of as the art capital of the world if this fair keeps on growing and attracting such fine talent.” –Michelle Atkins – Element 71 London

TALKS PROGRAMME 1. THE ART OF COLLECTING – modern & contemporary art and popular culture A personal discussion between very different South African collectors and their captivating anecdotes around their own collections and approach to art. The conversation will take place in two separate talks, where they will switch roles of interviewer and interviewee. Speakers: Warren Siebrits & Fred Scott 2.

WALTER BATTISS: KAROO NUDE

an emerging artist living in South Africa as part of Turbine Art Fair and the Sylt Foundation’s Residency Programme. The first winner in 2014 was artist Setlamorago Mashilo from Pretoria. This year’s winner is Sarah Biggs. She will take up her residency at the Sylt Foundation’s headquarters on the island of Sylt, Germany in early 2016. She will also show her work at the next year’s Turbine Art Fair 2016. “The TASA award has found its place within the landscape of the South African contemporary arts. I am really excited that this year’s winner Sarah Biggs will have the chance to engage with the delicate nature of the island through her art and am sure she will profit from the time on Sylt”, says Indra Wussow. The TASA prize will be officially presented to Sarah Biggs during the Turbine Art Fair.

PROJECTS AT TAF15 EMERGING ARTIST EXHIBITION – FRESH PRODUCE is a selection of work by young artists from around South Africa, as curated by Zanele Mashumi. “The Fresh Produce exhibition is focused on giving emerging artists the opportunity to exhibit amongst established artists, galleries and art platforms. These artists were chosen based on the presentation of work, quality and their professionalism. The important thing was to take these artists and be able to broaden their network through giving them the opportunity at TAF. This project has been a wonderful experience. Travelling across the country and seeing what this country has to offer and has changed my view in a very positive way. It has exposed me to understanding what’s lacking for artists in the other provinces” says Zanele Mashumi. Young artists selected will also participate in professional education and mentoring facilitated by Assemblage. Fresh Produce is brought to you by VANSA and Rand Merchant Bank.

EXHIBITIONS AT TAF15 JOHANNESBURG

ART

GALLERY

presents International Works on Paper, in Association with Strauss & Co. and ArtInsure. View original drawings, mixed media works and multiples by some of the greatest and most influential international artists of the 20th and 21st Centuries. Pablo Picasso, Lucien Freud, Salvador Dali, Roy Lichtenstein and Damien Hirst are among the big-name artists featured on a unique exhibition. The exhibition brings together jewels from the museum’s own exceptional collection in a celebration of the genres and scope of paper works, which are often more affordable and accessible to collectors. Johannesburg Art Gallery, located in the heart of the city since 1915, has the biggest collection of art in Africa. Visitors to TAF15 are also invited to attend a talk by Professor Karel Nel, head of acquisitions at JAG. The talk will offer insight into the artists represented as well as how the collection has taken shape over the last hundred years.

LIZAMORE & ASSOCIATES showcases the work of new and emerging artists, alongside established contemporary South African artists at TAF15. The gallery takes the view that through this selection they can promote new prospects to collectors, while still serving the growing market of buyers who look for the sound investment opportunities presented by more known artists. Visitors to the fair can look forward to a selection of miniatures by: Benon Lutaaya, Mandy CoppesMartin, Stephen Rosin, Ronél de Jager, Mandy Johnston, Louis Olivier and Peter Mammes (the 2015/2016 Johannes Stegmann mentee) at the Lizamore booth. “By showing miniatures we are tapping into the Turbine Fair’s goal to exhibit affordable art. We want to grant buyers and collectors the opportunity to access art from various artists at reasonable prices – miniatures being more affordable.” explains Teresa Lizamore, director and curator of the gallery. Furthermore, the artworks by the gallery’s featured artists allows the audience a wide selection on style and mediums, ranging from abstract acrylic paintings, expressive portraiture, works in copper and silk, oil painting and illustrative pen and ink pieces. The gallery also boasts a second stand in the Turbine Basement that will feature works by Zolile Phetshane. CANDICE BERMAN FINE ART GALLERY exhibits work by some of Joburg’s most dynamic and captivating young artist at their booth in the Turbine basement. Artists represented include John Vusi Mfupi. The colours and composition of his collages are compelling echoes to the impasto and impressionist techniques with refreshing subjectmatter and joyous appeal. Stompie Selibe, a jazz musician and fine artist, showcases a series of artworks compiled on sheet music. Classical euro-centric composition is shattered by his distinctive figures – an interesting combination of music and art.

The gallery introduces the ark of Louise Almon, whose abstract nudes and figures form original monotypes. N.T Ngulube continues to charm audiences with his bold colours and mixed media technique. Darryl Betz presents the latest works in his ‘Zinc Citizens’ series. The most recent works are a little more edgy in their tongue-in-cheek suggestiveness, with political overtones. His design elements captivate in their precision and persistence. Primarily monochrome black ink on plastic, he introduces colour by way of newspaper clippings and spray paint.

SALON NINETY ONE presents work by innovative South African artist at TAF15: Paul Senyol, Andrzej Urbanski, Alice Toich, Amber Moir, Craig Smith, Dani Loureiro, Gabrielle Raaff, Heidi Fourie, Jordan Sweke, Kirsten Beets, Maria van Rooyen & Natasha Norman. The visually rich collection of works includes monotypes, sculptures, typography and paintings ranging from abstract landscapes and geometric shapes, to detailed portraiture.

The artwork of Carolyn Parton, David Lurie, Isabelle Grobler, Neill Wright and Vivien Kohler will introduce audiences to the gallery’s new vision. London partner Christian Sulger-Buel states, “The gallery aims to engage with the diversity of voices present in contemporary African art at this exciting time, creating opportunities for further inter-continental exchange”. Sulger-Buel Lovell is positioned as part of a new approach in understanding the trajectories of contemporary African art and its relationship with the cultural heritage of Africa. It focuses on the challenges that artists are confronting in the urban environment of contemporary Africa, where art is a configuration of local, regional and intercontinental ideas and practices. Sulger-Buel Lovell offers a highly individual approach to clients, as well as a great expertise and an extensive network of contacts around the globe. The gallery will accompany existing and new collectors to this emerging market and introduce them to a broader range of artists. The gallery is committed to long-term relationships with the most promising contemporary African artists as well as with collectors.

TIPS FOR BUYING ART AFFORDABLY MULTIPLES (artworks that form part of an edition eg. prints and some sculptures) are often cheaper than one-off pieces (eg. paintings or drawings). A great thing about buying multiples is that you can often find established artists’ work at a good price. The more established an artist, the more predictable their works’ future investment value. BRING a friend with you if you feel unconfident choosing art. Two heads are always better than one, even when it comes to what hangs over your mantelpiece. RESEARCH an artist before buying - if you hope to buy for investment. A good sign that a particular artist’s work may appreciate in value is if the artist has won awards or has previously exhibited at a prominent gallery. FRAMING can be an expensive unseen cost. Often it may be more affordable to buy a work that is already framed than to frame it yourself. On the other hand, some works do not need framing (canvases, sculptures, etc.). You may not have to frame an artwork professionally if you don’t imagine it will appreciate greatly in value, but if you do, it would be wise to spend as much money as is needed to carefully preserve that artwork. MEDIUM is important to consider. Emerging artists may use lower quality materials than established artists would choose. Lower quality materials can mean that an artwork degrades quicker than expected. Markers and pens fade quickly. Collages and works using adhesive tape may come apart if the glue used is not acid free. If in doubt, enquire.

LOVE it, buy it. No matter whether it appreciates in value or degrades in quality, surrounding yourself with art is good for the mind and for the soul.

BOOK REVIEWS

ART TIMES

Keeping an Eye Open: Essays on Art

Conran on Colour

By Julian Barnes

By Sir Terence Conran

Man Booker Prize winner, Julian Barnes, presents a selection of previously published essays on Art History. From Géricault to Hodgkin, Barnes’ essays provide background to some of the world’s most famous artworks. Each chapter (but one), focuses on a significant artist and contextualises his artworks in relation to the artist’s life experience and stylistic choices. These investigations are more or less focused on one or another specific aspect (eg. Degas’ attitude towards women) making for thought-provoking investigations into the artist’s frame of mind. Essays interweave from one to the next, revealing a chain of artistic influence stretching to the present day. The book reads somewhat like a historical account, but with added commentary. Quite informative, it is also warm and easy to read.

Sir Terence Conran is a celebrated English designer. In the 1980s he founded the world’s first design museum and was knighted for his contribution to British society. One of his fifty published books, Conran on Colour focuses specifically on colour usage in interior design. The philosophies expressed, however, can easily be applied to any colour application. This book is incredibly detailed, but not intimatingly so. It goes beyond the usual discussion of colour theory into discussing practical applications – without patronising the reader. Aspects discussed include the effects of lighting, texture and patterning; as well as the importance of proportionality. Photographs of beautifully crafted living spaces illustrate Conran’s tutorage throughout the book, and a handy index makes for easy future-reference. Considering all the books about colour that are available, this one can be particularly recommended for the large scope that it covers and its no-nonsense approach.

100 GREATEST SA ARTWORKS SERIES

AVANT CAR GUARD Protected by Theory (2007) Avant Car Guard: Zander Blom, Jan-Henri Booyens and Michael MacGarry AVANT CAR GUARD was a Johannesburg-based art collective operating in the early 2000s, comprised of Zander Blom, JanHenri Booyens and Michael MacGarry. All three members were visual artists who exhibit separately, but allowed themselves a greater freedom of expression when creating art as a group. At the time, MacGarry professed: “We can say stuff with AVANT CAR GUARD what we can’t and don’t necessarily want to say with our own stuff... because there are three of us the blame”. AVANT CAR GUARD’s practice constituted a series of oneliners and in-jokes, commenting the art world (there is a fair bit of irony in the fact that they were part of the establishment which they satirize). As such, their performances, installations, sculptures, prints, paintings and publications were described as witty, crass and delinquent. An artwork that is perhaps more subtle than most, is Protected by Theory (2007). This photograph displays the members of AVANT CAR GUARD encased in cardboard structures and pages from old books. They wear armour that is literally comprised of theory and their body-language hints at the seriousness and self-importance that armour warrants. Their ridiculous outfits, however, undermine their stature, marking them as fools. While it is common practice for artists to contextualise their work by referring to periods and figures in art history, AVANT CAR GUARD seemingly makes light of this methodology in their artwork’s title. Perhaps they criticise art that is only interesting when spoken about in relation to other art and reveals little without acknowledging the connection. In irony typical of AVANT CAR GUARD, Protected by Theory relies heavily on historical reference for conceptual value. This is due to the strong link between the outfits worn by the figures in the photograph and Hugo Ball’s famous costume.

Hugo Ball reciting Karawane at the Cabaret Voltaire, Zürich 1916

For the sake of those unfamiliar with Hugo Ball and his relationship to Dadaism, an explanation is necessary: One evening in 1916 Zurich, Ball recited a poem comprised of a series of nonsensical sounds, to the audience at Cabaret Voltaire. His outfit was equally nonsensical to match: his limbs covered in blue cardboard tubes, his head in a home-made witch doctor’s hat and his shoulders covered in a cardboard collar. As he recited the Karawane, he slowly and solemnly flapped his arms for added affect. At this time, Zurich was a refuge for Jews who had escaped anti-Semitic violence in Romania. Ball became united with the Romanian Jews in conviction that the death and destruction of World War 1 was rooted in an outdated, bourgeois valuesystem maintained by authority figures. According to Ball and his contemporaries, as influenced by the anarchist philosophy by Mikhael Bakunin and Friedrich Nietzsche, the answer to this plague of destructive thinking was to adopt of a Nihilistic world-view (Nihilism holds that no meaning exists, and thus, no meaning can be communicated). From this position, Ball assembled the Dada Manifesto, which began the anti-art movement known as Dada. Predating the initial reading of the Dada Manifesto by less than a month, Ball’s performance of Karawane became a memorable symbol of Dadaism, so much so that documentation of the recitation is included in Art History lessons to this very day. AVANT CAR GUARD’s anarchistic confrontation of the art world holds true to Dada’s anti-authoritarianism and the destruction of meaning through the creation of nonsense. Protected by Theory highlights AVANT CAR GUARD’s link to Dadaism via visual reference. The theoretical association protects their work from illegitimacy or irrelevance.

In Art-world anti-heroes, Francis Burger points out that although AVANT CAR GUARD’s work often appears to have been made in the spur of the moment when jokes comes to mind, the collective carefully planned and executed their visual assaults. This is because they took their work seriously. She goes on to explain that their insults were not meant to be taken seriously because they communicated that art should not be taken seriously. “Doing pointless things, knowing they’re pointless, while still taking them seriously is the ultimate privilege of the artist,” she explains. The perspective favoured in Burger’s article is that the art world exists only for “gloss, pomp and glory”. Whether we agree with this sentiment or not, there is a certain freedom in abandoning the pursuit of effective communication. In a Postmodern era, what more is there to say that has not been said, anyway? – By Lyn Holm SOURCES CONSULTED: » Avant Car Guard. 2010.

ART TIMES ARTISTS’ BIRTHDAYS

Beezy Bailey

21 July 1962 –

Beezy Bailey was born in Johannesburg and received a fine art degree from Byam Shaw School of Art in London in 1986. His name apparently originated from his house keeper saying that he is always ‘beezy’, and the name stuck. Bailey works in various media, including painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking and ceramics. His work has been described as whimsical and mercurial. He has been a full-time artist for almost 35 years, with over 20 solo exhibitions in London, Johannesburg and Cape Town as well as numerous group shows around the world. A comprehensive retrospective of his work took place in China, September 2011. The documentary Outsider, by Deepend Films, documents Bailey’s life and career in the arts. Bailey has been at the forefront of various international media scandals. These include his conversion of the statue of Louis Botha outside the Cape Town parliament buildings into a Xhosa initiate; and his creation of female alter-ego Joyce Ntobe (whose work made it into the Iziko South African National Gallery as part of its permanent collection). » Beezy Bailey. 2012.

Clementina van der Walt 2 July 1952 – Clementina van der Walt is a well-known South African studio potter, based in Cape Town. She takes her inspiration from the patterns, colours and textures from the African landscape, as well as Art Deco and Russian poster design. In the past 3 decades she has lectured and run a production studio/gallery with long-time partner Albie Bailey. She has participated in major shows abroad, including four consecutive years at Ceramic Art London. She originally studied Art History in Israel and then went on to get her Diploma in Ceramics from the University of Johannesburg (1983). » About Clementina. 2015.

Amedeo Modigliani 12 July 1884 – 24 January 1920 Amedeo Clemente Modigliani was born into a Jewish family, in Tuscany, Italy. While at Guglielmo Micheli’s Art School (18981900), Modigliani developed a life-long infatuation with life drawing. In 1906 Modigliani moved to Montmartre. Here he carried on frequent affairs, drank heavily, and used absinthe and hashish. When Modigliani died of tubercular meningitis, his lover, painter Jeanne Hebuterne, was so distraught that she threw herself out a window, killing herself and the couple’s unborn child. 9 novels, a play, a documentary and 3 feature films have been devoted to Modigliani‘s life. » Amedeo Modigliani Biography. 2002.

Roxandra Dardagan Britz 5 July 1962 – Roxandra (Cindy) Dardagan Britz was born in Zimbabwe and grew up in the small farming town of Banket, where her parents ran a large general store. In 1979, at the height of the bush war, they were killed by the Zipra faction. Her work now uses etching (much like documentary photography), as commentary on sociopolitical issues facing Zimbabwe. Britz received the Purvis Art Prize in 1984; and her Masters in Fine Art (Graphics) from Rhodes University in 1992. » Roxandra Dardagan Britz. 2012. Rose Korber Art website: http://www.

Ben Coutouvidis 19 July 1970 – Ben Coutouvidis is a South African painter and sculptor. He studied Fine Art at Rhodes University, graduating in 1993 with distinction in Fine Art Practical (Sculpture). He was then awarded the Raymond Pullen Scholarship for painting in 1996. Coutouvidis describes his motivation to paint: “The departure point is always an encountered and experienced reality that allows for the exploration of different states of mind.” » Ben Coutouvidis . 2012.

Nicolaas Maritz 9 July 1959 – Nicolaas Maritz was born in Pretoria, the son of two architects. After Fine Art studies at UCT, he worked briefly as a graphic designer. Although Nicolaas is primarily known as a painter, he also works in many other media including print-making, ceramic and sculpture. He has also illustrated a number of award winning children’s books. His work has been described as ‘ethno-centric punk’; filled with cats, bottles, lemons and mountains. Maritz lives in the small town of Darling, where he enjoys painting prolifically, reading and gardening. » Nicholaas Maritz. 2012. Cape Gallery website: http://www.capegallery. co.za/nicholas_maritz_cv.htm.

James Abbott McNeill Whistler 11 July 1834 – 17 July 1903 Whistler was born in Massachusetts, USA, the son of a civil engineer. Whistler worked as draftsman mapping the U.S. coast. He was taken off the project after including sea serpents and mermaids. Famous for his wit and dandyism, he befriended Oscar Wilde, Gustave Courbet and Edouard Manet. Whistler produced his most famous painting, Arrangement in Gray and Black: Portrait of the Artist’s Mother, when one day a model failed to appear and his mother agreed to pose. The painting was accepted as a universal icon of motherhood and is now housed in the Musee d’Orsay in Paris. In 1877, Whistler sued critic John Ruskin for an insulting remark, but was awarded only a farthing’s damages. The expense of the trial led to Whistler’s bankruptcy. Whistler published his first book, Ten O’clock Lecture, an expression of his belief in “art for art’s sake”, in 1885. » Whistler, James Abbott McNeill. 2012.

Edgar Degas 19 July 1834 – 27 September 1917 Edgar Degas was born into a wealthy Franco-Italian family, ‘de Gas’, but changed his surname to ‘Degas’ since it sounded less aristocratic. In 1864, while copying a Velázquez at the Louvre, he met Édouard Manet, who by chance was copying the same painting. His friendship with Manet was instrumental in the development of Impressionism. Degas worked in paint, pastels and photography. Sculpture became his preferred medium when his sight began to fail due to a genetic eye disorder. Late in his life, inherited wealth enabled him to amass an art collection. He lost many friendships due to his outspoken antiSemitism, and died a recluse. » Justin Wolf. 2015. Edgar Degas. The Art Story website: http://www. theartstory.org/artist-degas-edgar.htm.

Henry Moore 30 July 1898 – 31 August 1986 Henry Spencer Moore was a British sculptor and draughtsman. He was born into poverty in the small coalmining town of Castleford, Yorkshire. He would later liken sculpting to massaging his father’s tired body after a long day in the mines. At 18, Moore joined up to fight in WW1, and took part in the battle of Cambrai. After the war, he received an ex-serviceman’s grant to attend art school, then a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in London. Moore’s sculptural forms were revolutionary amongst the more classical sculpture of his day, and he somewhat changed the landscape of sculpture. In 1951, he turned down a knighthood because he didn’t want to be seen as an establishment figure. » Henry Moore - his life and work. 2015.

ARTISTS’ BIRTHDAYS ART TIMES

Marcel Duchamp

28 July 1887 – 2 October 1968

Marcel Duchamp was born in Normandy, the younger brother of painter Jacques Villon and Cubist sculptor Raymond Duchamp-Villon. His early figure paintings were influenced by Fauvism; later Futurism and Cubism. His Nude Descending a Staircase, No.2 created a scandal at the New York Armory show of 1913. Thereafter, Duchamp virtually stopped painting, became a librarian, and began to study maths, physics, and the theoretical works of Henri Poincare. He presented the first of his ‘readymades’ in 1913 (objects of everyday use, considered art by the artist). When WW1 broke out in 1914, Duchamp left for America and was instrumental in establishing the Dadaist movement there. One of his best-known pieces is a urinal, titled Fountain and signed ‘R. Mutt’. Although rejected at first, Duchamp’s urinal would be voted the ‘most influential artwork of the 20th century’. After playing chess avidly for nine months in Buenos Aires, Duchamp returned to France in 1919 and associated with the Dada group in Paris. In New York in 1920, he made his first motordriven constructions and invented Rrose Sélavy, his feminine alter ego. Duchamp moved back to Paris in 1923, where he collaborated with the Surrealists. He then settled permanently in New York and began the assemblage of a 3-dimensional version of The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even, on which he worked for the next 20 years, in secret.

Two Years On Heather Gourlay-Conyngham

Heather GourlayConyngham on winning the first Sanlam Portrait Award Time is running out for all those interested in entering the 2015 Sanlam Portrait Award, as artworks are to be submitted between the 13th and the 23rd of July at various locations around the country. If you still have not downloaded your entry form, you may do so via: http://www.rust-en-vrede. com/competitions/ In 2013, Heather Gourlay-Conyngham’s male nude, A Young Man (177 x 80cm, oil on canvas) beat a staggering 1 783 entries to win the grand prize of R100 000. Thereafter, the winning portrait was joined by 39 top entries in a nation-wide, touring exhibition. Having had some time to reflect upon her prize-winning, GourlayConyngham now presents a new body of work at Rust-en-Vrede Gallery (Durbanville, Cape Town – exhibition opened 30 June). We got a sneak peek and were able to ask what winning the award has done for her career. AT: Heather Gourlay-Conyngham, how did it feel to be the first to win the Sanlam Portrait Award? HGC: My initial feeling was one of surprise, and excitement. Those involved with the competition were careful not to let the cat out of the bag until the winner was announced at the award ceremony. Although I felt A Young Man was a good painting, I thought I had penalised myself by depicting my subject nude. When the winner was made public I was inundated with congratulatory messages, which made me feel good. I live and work in relative isolation so the publicity and affirmation gave me a great boost.

ARTIST INTERVIEW ART TIMES

Rich with Mexican Blue, oil on canvas, 61 x 76 cm

AT: In a previous interview, you mentioned that you intended to use the prize money to recuperate the cost of building a new studio. What else have you been able to do with your winnings? HGC: The winnings didn’t go further than the cost of building the studio, but they helped me in not having to dig too deeply into my savings. I haven’t received a regular income since I stopped teaching at the end of 2011, so the prize was a welcome windfall. AT: How has the exposure of winning the award impacted your art career? HGC: Because of the press coverage, my name became instantly better known and the winning painting became a kind of branding for me. I have a sense that, in general, people take my

work more seriously now and there is a greater interest shown in owning my art. Several galleries have invited me to exhibit my work. AT: Has your work developed since, or maybe as a result of being involved with the Sanlam Portrait Award? HGC: I see my work as being part of a continuum that corresponds to my life, so personal experiences along the way must have an impact on what I paint. My paintings have always depicted people, but perhaps the award has allowed me to concentrate with greater certainty on aspects of art-making that interest me, such as in the stripping figure and its context to their bare essentials. AT: What can viewers expect to find at your current show?

HGC: Of the paintings on this exhibition four are head-and-shoulder portraits while the rest depict people I know in various poses. An obvious thread running through these paintings is my interest in ‘whiteness’. The works include objects such as fabric, porcelain, hair and skin which appear to be white but are in fact constructed of multiple colours. Not only am I interested in the process of conjuring the illusion of apparently white objects, but also the allegorical role they assume. Fabric may, for example, be seen simply as woven cloth or, in relation to the posed figure, a shroud. Although I am referring here to objects included in the work, the compositions as well as the manner in which the figures have been arranged have a quality of being bare. A second theme explored in these works relates to the gaze of the painted figure. In five paintings the subjects’ eyes are fixed on those of the onlooker while in the remainder the eyes are either closed or averted. I am interested in the effect this has on the viewer – it can engage or alienate, cause discomfort or pleasure. I have endeavoured to give each painting a life of its own. While the model serves as the starting point I hope the paintings will both stir the emotions of viewers and live on in them. AT: What next, after this exhibition? HGC: I am currently working on a portrait commission and have approached various people who have agreed to model for me, but I also I look forward to seeing where my painting will take me. AT: Any advice to those entering the Sanlam Portrait Award this year? HGC: Paint for yourself.

Art School in Durbanville WHOW-studios, an art school situated in the heart of Durbanville, have been offering a wide selection of weekly post-matric art classes since opening its doors in January 2015. Students may choose form classes in drawing, painting, sculpting or ceramics, while there are also a number of workshops on offer. Practical and theory classes allow for all levels of competence and development, and thus we can comfortably accommodate beginner as well as advanced artists. The classes are presented by well-known artists such as Greg Kerr, Andries Gouws, Leonie E Brown, Earl Parker and Johan Coetzee, who are all highly experienced as art educators. The main aim of WHOW-studios is to provide a milieu in which both local and national artists may have the freedom to express themselves fully in terms of their creativity. The

studios’ facilities are functional and purpose-built, and provide more than sufficient light and space to facilitate unrestricted creativity and art-making. The well-equipped ceramics studio is especially popular and is competently managed by the highly qualified and well-known ceramicist Alessandro Pappada, who for the past eight years has been working under the mentorship of the internationally renowned ceramicist Hennie Meyer. WHOW-studios are also rightfully proud of the in-house art reference library, which boasts a wide selection of art and ceramics books, as well as a variety of magazines. This aesthetically pleasing room offers a peaceful space in which course attendees may work and look for new ideas and inspiration, or simply relax for a while during breaks. WHOW-studios are furthermore delighted to announce

their first art exhibition. Strijdom van der Merwe, South Africa’s most well-known land artist, is exhibiting the documentation of his most interesting land art works under the curatorship of Elizabeth Miller-Vermeulen, thus presenting the art lover with an event that should not be missed. The works may be viewed between 09:00 and 16:00 on week days. WHOW-studios provide safe parking in a peaceful environment and, to top it all, also offer the visitor a cup of delicious coffee. We thus extend a heartfelt invitation to the reader to come and experience the studios’ welcoming and inspiring ambience, where the friendly staff and management are always at the ready to help solve any art-related problem.

Nushin Elahi’s London Letter read more at london-letter.com

It sure looks like fun, but is it ART? That was the response I got showing someone the photo of myself flying across the London skyline in the Hayward Gallery show Carsten Höller: Decision (until 6 September). It certainly was fun: shooting down a slide that twirls against the building, gliding on a rotating flying machine above the South Bank and groping along a disorientating pitch black corridor. Fun, yes, art, not really. The artist aims to turn our sense of the world upside down and offer a different perspective, constantly throwing choices at us. Which entrance, which slide, which flying machine? we ask. The answer is generally simply the next one available, just the same as any theme park that offers similar thrills and equally long queues. The Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition (until 16 August) has drawn crowds for over two centuries and something in the eclectic mix ensures it continues to do so. Twelve thousand public send-ins are reduced to a whopping 1200 pieces that offer something for absolutely everyone. The show is a major fundraiser for the Academy’s school, and exhibits works by unknown and established artists hanging side by side with only a number to identify them. Each year has a different feel, and this year curator Michael Craig-Martin has injected colour right into the heart of the building, painting the three gracious central halls of the Academy a vivid cerise and blue. And that’s after you have climbed up stairs covered in vibrant coloured tape, an installation by Scottish artist Jim Lambie. This is playful and fun, and despite the numbers, it is so well hung that one gets a sense of space. South African William Kentridge is now an honourary Academician, and his large studies of African trees give a powerful weight to one of the rooms. On the opposite side of the building is another project, a fifty-year-old labour of love by Tom Phillips. He has turned each page of a Victorian novel into a miniature artwork, creating a fascinating interplay between past and present. American artist Agnes Martin couldn’t be further from the frenetic noise of a blockbuster. Martin, a contemporary of Abstract Expressionists Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko, followed her own muse. Her struggles with mental ill health are revealed in the obsessive use of repetition, particularly of a grid format, with painstaking mark making of fine pencil dots. The work is almost all in a large square format, slightly smaller in later life, and her colours range predominantly from white to the palest pastel washes of colour. Nothing hits you in the face, but for those prepared for the quiet contemplative study art used to demand, this is a soothing balm. They have not got the fiery resonance of a Rothko, but in a similar vein, few paintings reveal their full depth in a photograph. The Tate Modern is systematically highlighting women artists, many of them overlooked by history, most recently Sonia Delaunay, Marlene Dumas, and now Martin (until 11 October). As Martin painted well into her nineties, there is a large body of work in what is the first retrospective since her death in 2004.

Art meets Antiques at The National Antiques & Decorative Arts Faire 24 - 26 July 2015 | Sandton Convention Centre The National Antiques & Decorative Arts Faire has established itself not only as the purveyor of fine antiques, collectables and decorative arts but has become the magnet for those who are art aficionados and who want to experience art both in a gallery setting and as part of exquisite decor settings. There is no question that there is a global movement towards what is being termed ‘crossover collecting’. Today, collectors mix and match their collecting genres and, thanks to the proliferation of antique road shows, collecting shows and restoration programmes, people are catching the collecting bug and are seeing the benefits, both personally and financially, of becoming collectors. Internationally, antique fairs have begun to incorporate future art masters’ work alongside old masters’. ‘From Regal to Retro’, the National Antiques & Decorative Arts Faire presents a range from along the timeline: from a 17th Century painting of Simon van der Stel to a contemporary William Kentridge original; a rare 18th Century German armoire to modern Danish furniture from the 1970s. An eclectic melange gives visitors, of all ages and from all walks of life, the chance to mix and match across different genres and periods. Since its inception in 2000, the NAADA Faire has sought to bring collecting to the attention of all those who love beautiful things – and to incorporate new and exciting collecting genres – from celebrating military milestones or showcasing classic cars. This year, the SA Mint will add a new dimension to the Faire by hosting coin collectors as part of the Johannesburg Coin Fair Pavilion. Art – An Essentiial in the Mix With so many antique dealers picking up significant South African Masters’ art pieces in their day-to-day dealings with collectors, the art section of the NAADA Faire has, over the years, gained importance and at the 2015 NAADA Faire there will be some significant art on show, including; • 18th Century Girl from Naples Portrait by Count Pietro Antonio Rotari (Verona 1707 - St Petersburg 1762), painter for the Romanov Tsarina Caterina the Great. The painting, of which a variant in red chalk is in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, is in an original Louis Sixteenth gilt frame and measures 41 x 31cms. •

Top to Bottom: VOC Ship Cape Table Bay by Unknown Artist, 18thC Portrait of Girl from Naples by Antonio Rotari, 18thC Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, with illustration by Lute Vink Doulton Lambeth Art Nouveau Stoneware Vase

Dutch antique dealer Ricus Dullaert also found a rare painting of a Dutch VOC ship entering Table Bay with Table Mountain and Cape Town in the early days in the background. Painted in oil on canvas by an 18th Century unknown artist, the 44.5 x 36cm painting was discovered by a Dutch noble family and, only once restored did this treasure, rich in detail and history, come to light.

•

A number of significant art pieces will be on sale at the National Antiques Faire including Irma Stern mix media-on-board and gouache pieces and other highly collectable names in the world of art.

•

Books Illustrated, UK specialist dealers in illustration and publishers of fine limited edition books, will be launching their limited edition of 200 copies to celebrate The Jungle Book author, Rudyard Kipling’s 150th anniversary. What makes their visit to South Africa so important is that they commissioned South African wildlife artist Lute Vink to illustrate this beautiful collectors’ book. Also from Books Illustrated: limited edition publications of A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare and a book of poetry featuring ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ titled Purr & Feather.

•

The Charles Greig Gallery will also feature, for the first time at the NAADA Faire, some of its iconic bronzes as well as a selection of Ardmore Ceramics.

•

Celebrating the 200th anniversary of Royal Doulton will be Ed Pascoe, the world’s biggest dealer in English ceramics who comes with his prestige collection of rare Royal Doulton pieces including the magnificent Charge of the Light Brigade, a collectors’ piece selling for R240 000. Other significant pieces include the Doulton Lambeth Faience Vase c 1880 at R42 000 and a rare Art Nouveau Stoneware Vase at R51 500.

The presentation and glamour of the National Antiques & Decorative Arts Faire is unmatched in South Africa – from the decor design presentation style that matches antiques and collectables with contemporary art to the glamour of the opening night which takes place on the 23rd July where 500 of the who’s who of collecting come together. The result is the most talked about antiques, art and collectables fair in the country.

J.H. Pierneef A Space for Landscape The work of Jacob Hendrik Pierneef (1886-1957) was a dominant presence in South African art for much of the twentieth century. His works were displayed in public spaces, his paintings were prized commodities in the art market, his prints were a common sight inside homes, and he was studied by school pupils and art historians alike. But this prominence did not necessarily benefit his longer-term reputation. Associated (whether fairly or not) with the apartheid state and with Afrikaner nationalism, Pierneef’s landscapes have been appropriated, parodied and subvertedby other artists since the 1980s; his work has become largely neglected by scholars and institutions in the arts sector, even though private collectors pay huge sums for a Pierneef at auctions. Indeed, Wilhelm van Rensburg suggests that “public awareness of the art of J.H.Pierneef has never been at such a low point in South Africa”. J.H. Pierneef: A Space for Landscape brings together a wealth of paintings and prints, from numerous collections, to create the first major Pierneef exhibition in many years. It also includes a selection of works by artists who have responded to and undermined Pierneef’s iconic status. This theme of iconoclasm is particularly timely given the renewed debate in South Africa about images, symbols and figures from the country’s contested past. Pierneef’s work, some of it commissioned by the Union government and much of it coopted by the apartheid state, has been criticised for its romantic or nostalgic representation of the landscape – ignoring a history of violent conquest and displacement, as well as the central questions of land ownership and belonging. Yet, Van Rensburg seeks to challenge the

assumption that Pierneef was merely an artistic stooge of the projects of colonialism and Afrikaner nationalism. Adopting a biographical or a formalist approach to the work reveals other aspects of Pierneef: an outsider and an experimenter, an opponent of empire who was nonetheless international in his outlook. His influences were wide and varied, and his style shifted “under the broad rubric of modernism” from “somber and realistic” to impressionist, abstract and “quasi-geometric”. If Pierneef can’t be pinned down in terms of style, perhaps the same is true in terms of the historical contexts in which his work was produced and received. As we discuss other icons of South Africa’s past, the time is ripe to revisit the work of J.H. Pierneef.

Bonhams, London

September South African Sale Bonhams’ next sale of South African art, due to be held on the 9th September, will feature a number of works by the country’s great masters: Irma Stern (1894-1966), Gerard Sekoto (1913-1993) and J.H. Pierneef (1886-1957). Particular highlights are two portraits by Stern, Arab in Black (estimate: ZAR 13,464,600 – 19,235,100), and Congo Woman (estimate: ZAR 2,308,200 – 3,462,300). The first, Arab in Black, was painted by Stern in 1939 on her first visit to Zanzibar. The intricately carved wooden frame was custom-made by the artist from one of the island’s trademark doorways. The traditional motifs of the lotus flower and date tree leaves clearly signpost its place of execution. The painting depicts a member of Zanzibar’s Arab population. During her visits to the island, Stern immersed herself in the local culture, staying in an old Arab house opposite a mosque. She was struck by the serene spirituality of the people. The facial expression of this sitter communicates a calm wisdom. The harmonious nature of the work is emphasised by Stern’s use of complementary colours; the purple turban against the yellow background and skin tones. The second portrait, painted a decade earlier in 1929, depicts a young Congolese woman. Unlike Arab in Black, it is not a specific likeness; Stern did not travel to the Congo until 1942. The interest of this painting lies in the fact it is primarily a work of imagination. In the years leading up to 1920, Stern had studied in Germany with the acclaimed Expressionist artist, Max Pechstein. Pechstein and his followers sought to escape the artistic conventions taught at European academies. The African continent seemed to offer an alternative, an aesthetic not bound by the confines of mimetic representation. The proportions of Stern’s Congolese subject reflects this; the woman’s legs are far too short to be anatomically correct. The palette further suggests the artist’s preoccupation with the expressive quality of the work. The green and orange hues of the foliage are picked up in the woman’s skin; the implication

is that she is at one with the landscape, a more authentic being than her European counterparts. Other highlights include an early oil by Gerard Sekoto, Mother and Child (estimate: ZAR 232,100 –350,000). The painting belonged to Professor Matthys Bokhorst, former director of the South African National Gallery. Bokhorst was teaching at the University of Pretoria in the 1947, and was a great advocate of Sekoto’s work. Keen to develop the artist’s talent, he encouraged Sekoto to leave South Africa and seek admission to a European academy. The artist departed for Paris later that year. ‘Mother and Child’ occupies a special place in Sekoto’s oeuvre, painted just before he left for Europe; once in Paris, the artist moved away from this warm palette of browns and oranges. Bonhams will also be offering a major work by Walter Whall Battiss (1906-1982), The Last Supper (estimate:ZAR 232,100 – 350,000). In this oil painting, background details and perspective have been eliminated. The scene is built up from blocks of flat colour, the figures etched into the oil with a palette knife. Battiss’s discovery of South African rock art has been described as the single most important event of his career, encouraging a break with conventional naturalistic representation. This painting is an example of the stylized aesthetic that followed; the incised figures are strongly reminiscent of the ancient rock engravings of the San. Bonhams September’s sale will feature a number of sculptures, including a wooden carving by Lucas Tandokwazi Sithole (1931-1994), Different Opinions (estimate: ZAR 193,500 – 290,000). Sithole is one of the most important artists to have emerged from the Polly Street Art Centre. His sculptures synthesize the European modernist aesthetic with traditional African wood carving. Different Opinions is one of a series of heads that the artist created over the course of his career. The art historian, E.J. de Jager claims that these heads mark a highpoint for Sithole, and “radiate a noble and transcendental quality”.

Irma Stern (South African, 1894-1966), Arab in Black, signed and dated ‘Irma Stern / 1939’ (upper left); bears inscription ‘Arab in black’ to stretcher and frame (verso), oil on canvas, 61 x 51cm within a Zanzibar frame. Estimate: £700,000-1,000,000

Irma Stern (South African, 1894-1966), Congo Woman, signed and dated ‘Irma Stern 1929’ (upper right); bears Pretoria Art Museum exhibition label (verso), oil on canvas, 96 x 61.5cm. Estimate: £120,000-180,000

Walter Whall Battiss (South African, 1906-1982), The Last Supper, signed ‘BATTISS’ (lower right), oil on canvas, 59.5 x 75cm. Estimate: £12,000-18,000

Stephan Welz & Co., Johannesburg

August Sale Ripe with Contemporary and Traditional Paintings From stand-out political works by contemporary artist Wayne Barker of Walter Sisulu and Steve Biko to the soft and creamy magnolia blooms of Adriaan Boshoff, there will be close to 350 contemporary and traditional paintings to be sold in two sessions at the Stephan Welz & Co. Fine Art and Collectables Auction in Johannesburg on 4 and 5 August. Wayne Barker has created a body of work that largely deals with the subject of history, especially that of South Africa’s colonial and apartheid past. The two Barker works for sale are part of his ‘Legends’ series, composed of works which personalise history through specific individuals who symbolise and embody something greater than their own role in that history. CBS News – 1990: Walter Sisulu, (2010) and Fighting Field: Steve Biko (2010) are both mixed media on canvas, and are accompanied by small sculptures commissioned from Richard Chauke. Each is valued at R120 000 – R160 000. One of the most important traditional works to be sold is Irma Stern’s Coast Scene, Probably Zanzibar. “Stern travelled extensively but it was with the African continent that she had a fascination, which was unchartered territory for a woman of the time,” said Imre Lamprecht, Head of the Art Department at Stephan Welz & Co. “She developed a fascination with Arab culture and visited Zanzibar in 1939 and again in 1945, when this gouache on paper was produced.” It has an estimated value of R600 000 – R900 000.

Maggie Laubser’s Trees at Lake with Boat, which has been valued at R300 000 – R400 000, is of an iconic Northern Italian setting that she painted many times and Pierneef’s Acacia Trees in the Bushveld is “a beautiful casein work by the artist,” said Lamprecht. “Painting with casein or tempura paint requires a spontaneity and confidence of marking that, for Pierneef, resulted in an expressiveness arguably exceeding that of his more considered and deliberate oil paintings – therefore these works are sometimes viewed as his most inspired.” This painting has an estimated value of R180 000 – R240 000. “Collectors are still keen on cornerstone artists, but are diversifying their collections with interesting contemporary pieces,” said Lamprecht. Look for a good selection of works by William Kentridge, Deborah Bell, MJ Louwrens and Sam Nhlengethwa. Each session will be kicked off with a number of international works: highlights include Jim Dine’s The Astral Tool (R10 000 – R15 000), Howard Hodgkin’s Gossip (R20 000 – R30 000) and Jules Perahim’s The Surreal Battle (R30 000 – R40 000). Another work by the Romanian painter Perahim, Amitie Par Mimetisme (1980), sold in an April Stephan Welz & Co auction for R91 857, well over its estimated value. “There is also increased interest from buyers in works from the 1960s and 1970s, from artists that for the most part were hugely underrated and underappreciated,” said Lamprecht. “A number of these are represented in the forthcoming auction: Diederick During, Anna Vorster, Nerine Desmond,

Bettie Cilliers Barnard, George Enslin, Fred Schimmel, Christo Coetzee, Marianne Podlashuc and Nat Mokgosi.” The Stephan Welz & Co. Fine Arts and Collectables auction will take place on 4 and 5 August at Stephan Welz & Co. on the 4th floor, South Tower, Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton, Johannesburg.
