It is a privilege for Sotheby's to be involved with the Art for Africa auction, and I am honoured to be the auctioneer for this historic event supporting the Africa Foundation and the Ikamva Labantu charities.
In the pages of this catalogue you will find the most wonderful works in a variety of media (painting, sculpture, drawing and performance). I'm confident that this sale represents the most comprehensive offering to date of works by South Africa's leading artists.
