There are over 150 works from the most exciting photographers working in South Africa today. It’s the first UK exhibition of contemporary SA photography from the last ten years. It highlights the peoples of SA, within families and communities, as individuals in the centre of things or on the fringes

The Pierneef Market

In a recent article in Frieze magazine entitled 'Strange Weather' South African writer and journalist Sean O'Toole asks the question': 'Will Pierneef's art endure the great wave of negative opinion that threatens to annihilate his legacy?'

In light of this it will be interesting to see how strong the Pierneef market infact is when on 23 March 2011 Bonhams London will auction off 7 works by this artist in their South African sale; especially since 4 of the 6 works recently put up for auction by Stephan Welz & Co in Cape Town failed to find buyers.
