MESSAGE FROM AARDKLOP Aardklop is a national arts festival in Potchefstroom that is celebrating our 22nd year! During the school holidays, 24 – 28 September festinos will be spoilt for choice: Aficionados can revel in theatre, classical and cross-over music productions, heated discussions on current affairs and book discussions. Fun seekers can visit our festival grounds with more than 450 food and craft stalls, entertainment for kids and live music on our two free stages. And of course: for the visual arts lovers, we have exhibitions curated by Dr Johan Thom. This year, for the first time, we have partnered with Aspire, to host our first auction, screen some wonderful documentaries on the visual arts, and present a talk on art as an investment. We invite everyone to come and join our festivities. This year’s embracing theme The art(s) revolution. We promise five days of marvellous art, enriching experiences, quality family time, and good old fashioned much needed escapism from our daily routine! Alexa Strachan www.aardklop.co.za
MESSAGE FROM ASPIRE
Aspire Art Auctions is a dynamic and progressive auction house, associated with the finest, critically-engaged art. Conceived as a cultural organisation, our passion for art and the cultural legacy of South Africa and the continent at large underpins our values and goals. We support inclusivity and accessibility for all. Our innovative and intelligent approach to art and collecting ensures we present sales of the foremost art available in the secondary market, and our clientele rely on our knowledge and expertise. By concentrating on smaller auctions and offering fewer lots of higher quality, we ensure that astute collectors know that acquisitions from Aspire’s auctions provide better longevity and prospective returns. It is in this spirit that we collaborate with the Visual Arts programme at Aardklop 2019. In addition to presenting a range of film screenings and art talks to assist in educating festival-goers about the investment value of art and the world of art auctions, we are also conducting this commercial auction of work from the various festival artists on exhibition at Aardklop this year. Our goal is not only to expose the artists to a wider collecting public, but also to introduce Aardklop festival goers to the delights of buying great contemporary South African art at auction. www.aspireart.net
