This updated work covers a wider period of the country's stimulating auction history - just over a quarter century. Profusely illustrated.
"Since 1989, spectacular changes have occurred in the local art market and prices have risen sharply. Included here are some recent auction records for painting, sculpture, drawings, prints and graphics, books, furniture, silver and stamps. A few auction highlights are discussed, among them works by artists Irma Stern, William Mitcheson Timlin, J.H. Pierneef and John Dronsfield; also the notable collection of Sir Albert and Lady Beit. The book is lavishly illustrated with 300 full-colour plates and presents a unique overview of superlative fine art and antiques of South African origin and interest.".
