Soaring Prices in Europe’s Contemporary Fine Art Market – Prompts Top Prices for South African Artists Work

Edit Article |

]]>

The South African fine art community of collectors and investors may be a distant hemisphere away from the elite of Europe’s summer worldwide tour that began in Venice Biennale this year. However, analysts predict that the steady upward curve in the world’s fine art market that began in 2002 will continue to push prices through the roof. One of Europe most elite social scenes began their quest from Venice, where fleets of private jets took collectors to the Basel Art exhibitions, following onto Documenta in Kassel and finishing their pursuit by raiding Sothebys in London.

Sale of contemporary art works reached unprecedented heights at auction. The event saw Francis Bacon’s self portrait sell for a record $40m, twice its reserve price. Later Claude Monet’s Nympheas went for a staggering $37m and one of the artist’s Waterloo Bridge paintings which was expected to sale at auction for $14m fetched an astounding $34m.

Upward market trends in the southern hemisphere?

The intensifying upward trend in the world’s fine art market has also been felt in the now not so distant southern hemisphere. Australia’s contemporary art market which is considered comparable with South Africa’s has also seen record sales at public exhibitions and auction events. Fine art works by modern Australian artists are snapped up for around $3.5m, whereas the highest price fetched by a South African Artist is around $1m. That was for JH Pierneef’s Dar es Salaam that changed hands at Bernardi’s sale in Pretoria. However experts predict that there is no reason why South African Artists can’t sell their fine artwork for comparable prices.

South Africa’s Masters have topped records in domestic SA auctions

Some of South Africa’s Masters have topped records in domestic SA auctions. An oil by Maggie Laubser, Sailing Boat on Lake Guarda, signed and dated 1921, sold for R220,000 (USD31,000), topping values for her works of that period. The highest price at the Fine Arts Auction was paid for a Sekoto, Home Coming, signed and dated 1974, which was knocked down for R820,000 (USD117,000). This was followed by the R680,000 (USD97,000) paid for an oil by Laubser, The Slopes of Table Mountain verso Portrait of a Hiker. An oil by George Pemba, Musicians, signed and dated 1990, sold for R200,000 (USD28,000), and an oil by JEA Volschenk, The Giants of the Zwaartberg Range, signed and dated 1920, attained a hammer price of R125,000 (USD18,000). More was paid for oil by Adriaan Boshoff, Cattle and Herdboy, which fetched R300,000 (USD43,000).

A director of the auction house says “Art market trends tend to follow the property market which is currently very buoyant. The public have the resources and more wealth, and hence more money is available for investment in art, which has shown better returns than the stock exchange in the past three years”

Contemporary South African Fine Artworks Gain International Respect

South Africans’ cultural heritage and art has gained international respect recently because of recognition received by artists like Zwelethu Mthethwa, William Kentridge, Marlene Dumas. Galleries and museums have developed a distinct, strongly-growing market locally and around the world. Northern Europeans often are surprised when they find out that the bright colour abstract paintings were created by an African artist. In general art collectors and gallery owners still associate African art with wooden statues and masks. Few people appreciate that African artists finish art school and have a growing impact and are represented throughout the international art circuit. An interesting observation is that prices for Aboriginal art are rising steeply, as is the case for works by black artists in South Africa.

Choosing a 3D Animation School for geo3dmodel

In terms of training, few actually get the “right” training. They go to a crash course program like Mesmer f/x (which teaches you about brand X software in 3 short weeks), put together a rather weak demo reel in the same timeframe, and then hit the streets looking for a job. These people, in my opinion, have no training at all because they know nothing of the art of animation, nothing about lighting, nothing about story telling.

South African Art – Politics and Progress for the Masters?

South African art, its masters, world renowned paintings and grass roots artists alike have all been shaped to some extent by the politics of social change over the past century. Artistic practice in much of South Africa has been affected by official policies of racial segregation, wars, economic and political migration, and an infinite number of marginal influences that combine to form the creative identity of the artist and their choice of subject.

CityFlight.Com – Fashion: Contemporary African American Designers from San Francisco to New York

By A. Finney

Crocheted Apparel by Erika and Monika Simmons

From San Francisco to New York City and ports in between, today’s up and coming contemporary African American fashion designers are comprised of both men and women, and they are making a huge impact in the industry.

Talking to a variety of designers proves one thing—designers are born, not made. Each designer says that art plays an essential part in their creations.

African Americans have a long history of being trendsetters, and these designers certainly prove that fact. They are creative, resourceful and very tech savvy entrepreneurs that market their designs using their own websites, blogs and social media. While most are e-tailers (online sales), some have had their products in brick and mortar stores. Most of their products are made in the USA.

Whether they are designing wall hangings, handbags or couture, African American fashion designers are making a statement. And, it seems the rest of us can’t help but listen.

Jeanine Hays, San Francisco
Lifestyle Designer – Decorative Pillows

Decorative Pillows – AphroChic

Jeanine Hays is the creative force behind lifestyle brand AphroChic, which features home decor and apparel. She says it was created as an embodiment of its mantra of modern soulful style. She designs big, beautiful pillows and Tees. Hays uses a website presence, social media and blogs as marketing tools.

Sylvia Holden, from San Francisco to New York
Handbag/Apparel Fashion Designer

Apparel by Sylvia Holden

Nine years ago while living in San Francisco and working at San Francisco’s premiere auction house, Butterfield and Butterfield, Sylvia Holden launched a handbag collection using antique fabric remnants and old handbag handles. Her online boutique and blog  display a collection including vintage styled handbags and clothing with an updated twist. She knew she wanted to make things “look pretty” when she was a very young girl. Holden has a background in fine art and draws a correlation between art and designing and states, “Designing is Art.”

Classic memory: Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck

Mickey Mouse turns 80 years old today, and there’s not a gray hair on him. Sure, he’s a little rounder, a little squatter, and he’s been wearing the same clothes for decades, but all in all he looks pretty good. Sure, Mickey hasn’t had a movie in two years (his last one went direct-to-video), but his cheerful face remains one of the most recognizable images in the world, even beating out Santa Claus.

Choosing Contemporary African Art


You may already have a number of reasons for choosing contemporary African art. But if you’re unfamiliar with this type of work and want to know more, you will want to recognize several different techniques, colors, and styles that set this art apart from the rest. When you understand what makes contemporary African art something special, you will certainly want to bring a piece or two into your home.

One of the common words used to describe contemporary African art is ‘Natural.’ By focusing on simple brush strokes and shapes, the overall effect is much more organic than other pieces of modern art. It evokes a sense of having been painted outside in the brush, rather than in a cold, sterile studio. This natural feeling also creates an inviting tone that allows it to grace a home’s living room or entryway or even the kitchen or bedroom. And when you choose this kind of natural piece, you can accent the decorating themes that you’ve already established instead of having to recreate a room around a piece of art.

Rich colors pervade African American art and this is a design quality that is much admired by many owners of this art. The deep colors allow the warmth of the painting to come through and also engage a curious view as to the content of the scene. With vibrant reds and oranges, these pieces of art can be used to accent a monochromatic room or can be the central feature of a location. And while the colors vary from image to image, there is no lack of brightness or vitality – even the blues and the greens are striking.

What sets contemporary African art apart from other collections is its ability to depict the sense of struggles having been overcome. While you could say that these paintings reflect too much on the past, it’s more of a celebration of triumphing over a history that sought to defeat their spirit. You may see somber eyes in the works, but they’re full of hope at the same time. Though not every painting includes a setting in the past, you can see that there is no forgetting the history of the African American either.

Inherent in contemporary African art is also the feeling of simplicity, of no stroke without a definitive purpose. Whether this stems from a need to use only what the artist could find or if it comes from wanting to be as simple as possible, no one knows. But what you can sense is that this African art is created to be straightforward in its image, adding nothing that doesn’t belong or doesn’t need to be seen.

In choosing contemporary African art, you will find that there are many desirable qualities that make it stand out from other collections. And while you can find hundreds of artists that have created thousands of pieces, there are some that will appeal to you personally – as though they were created with only you in mind.

Dissolving Stereotypes Concerning Contemporary African Art


One positive facet of globalisation is the fusion of creative elements from various cultures of the world. The essence of this global shift has drastically changed the contemporary African art market, rendering post modern representations of this great continent, its people and creatures in new and enlightening contexts. Modern African artists work to explore new concepts by interpreting them within their indigenous traditions or by reflecting their authentic African situation or experience in their art work.

However, maybe it is less the content or style of the works than the origin, location or structure of the artist that exhibit them. If you talk about the contemporary art world today you are really referring to a world of art. Modern art cites from Sao Paolo to London, from Kassel to Cape Town all embrace an array of artists and cultures from the four corners of the globe, many of whom were born in Africa. Who are these global artists? And when they make art, do they make African Art? Or do they make modern African art? Contemporary Art from Africa or Postmodern African Art? Are these descriptions only applicable for artists that are from Africa? Or who live in Africa?

Postmodern African Artists Endure a Mixed Blessing

Defining the contemporary artists’ identity based on cultural or geographical boundaries has always been applied, especially in the African case. Unfortunately for many postmodern African artists this is a mixed blessing. Possessing African roots can be seen as a source of pride, an irrelevant fact, or a perpetual curse. Western stereotypes are steadfast and hard to eliminate. Western cultural presuppositions have negatively affected the presentation and interpretation of contemporary African art. In the Washington Post the Tanzanian artist Kiure Msangi quoted the reaction of a journalist: “Do you use acrylic paint? But that is not African!” Kiure Msangi proceeded: “If I would have used in some canvases acrylic paint with cow dung, I am sure the critics would have loved it”.

Can the World’s Contemporary Art Culture Benefit from the African Experience?

Although the stereotypes still exist, there is a growing upward trend in the sale and exhibition of contemporary “African Art”. Both collectors and the general public are investing in exciting vibrant paintings, sculptures, installations and digital art. These contemporary art collections bring delight and financial reward, while enriching many homes with modern form and colour.

The 21st century has been with us for some time and “African Art” is beginning to solidify the respect it has gained in recent years. This contemporary art should not be discarded as a strange sub-category, but be recognised for its sophistication and quality. These modern works of art are being produced by a professional and ethnically diverse art community that spans the globe.

This topical article on the subject of contemporary african art was written by Deri Jenkins (BETEC, BA, BSc) on behalf South African Artists. Visit South African Artists fine art gallery to view a wide range of original art available to buy at affordable prices.
