Mandela Rhodes Foundation To Co-Host Sale
Published November 13th, 2007
The second South African art sale at Bonhams New Bond Street, January 30 2008, will be the most valuable auction of South African art ever held.
The work illustrated, by Irma Stern, ‘Portrait of a Pondo Woman’, dates from 1929 and comes from a period in Stern’s work when she was exploring the differences in appearance and dress found in the African tribal women. Oils from this period are exceedingly rare and this example is the first of its type to have come on the market for fifteen years.
