This past month has been both great and
memorable, all the art auction houses are doing
very well, especially that Trechis 20th Century
icon The Chinese Lady, possibly the most
recognizable artwork originating from SA was
sold for nearly double is estimate at a sweet ZAR
13M, and whats more the UK buyer of the work
plans to bring it back home. I hope that the
painting fnds a happy, appreciative and inspired
home. Funny that it went for ZAR 13M as 13
was Trechis favourite number, I am sure he is
chuckling happily from above while mooting the
academics far below. To the Trechi sale we have
2 articles written by Michael Coulson and Boris
Gorlik, an authority on Trechi.
We have compiled a brief Printmaking feature
this month focusing on Cape Town Printmaking
workshops. (Next Print edition will take place
in August- focusing on Jhb) Unfortunately I am
bound to get hate calls by many friends and
printmakers in the feld. I would like to say that I
am sorry that I did not squeeze you in, we have
always so few pages of editorial that its almost a
crime to have to leave folk out. Given that its a 48
page magazine, its very much SAs largest visual
art publication in SAs art history - ever - with
reaching more art lovers than before -
with over 11 months a year with totalling over 500
free pages per year, we do get a lot of news out x
8 500 AT copies throughout South Africa monthly-
over and above our well read daily website and
newsletters. Speaking of news broadcast we have
over 14 000 Facebook likes and that this is a real
contemporary thrill catch our news daily on
website at www.arttimes.co.za
On a happy note we are expanding our news
service to include more content, we feel that lately
we havent given enough locally written content,
this has seemed typical of many media houses
world wide. At the end of the day this is our art,
our identity and our lives the stronger we are as
being ourselves the more unique we will be in a
few years time our age will stand out, rather than
be blurred into a mushy noise of everything else.
A big thank you for those who have supported us
over the last 6 years and continue to do so, we
hope to make you proud and grow our infrastruc-
ture to spread our quality, beautiful culture, ideas
and art we have in SA, higher and wider.
Thank you.

SA BENDS TO CHINA / NEWS | ART TIMES
By Charl Attan for The Art Times.
I was really shocked. As an artist you kind of
work in this bubble so to have this kind of reaction
to work you have put out there, came as real
shock, said Julie Lovelace in reaction to the re-
cent controversy around one of her works, which
had formed part of the recent Dinner for 101
installation at Cape Towns Castle of Good Hope.

Controversy erupted around the piece, titled I Did
It Mao Wei Wei, when a group of Chinese tourists
objected to its depiction of the erstwhile Chinese
leader, Mao Zedong. Mao was the Central Com-
mittee of the Communist Party of China frst
Chairman from 1945 to 1976.
The work is made up of a found plate commemo-
rating the Chinese leader onto which the artist
painted bloodied tears streaming from Maos
eyes.
Esther Esmyol, the shows curator and Curator of
Social History Collections at Iziko Museums said:
It was on a Friday, around halfway through the
run of the exhibition, that the group of approxi-
mately 20 young Chinese tourists, mostly in the
twenties, came in to view the show. They objected
to the manner in which Mao was depicted. They
were very forceful and demanded to buy the piece
in order to destroy it.
Because of the groups persistence, Esmyol
called Lovelace, explained the situation and
enquired whether the work was up for sale.
Said Lovelace: When Esther called me, she was
very calm but I could hear there was a lot going
on. I was really taken aback that they would want
to purchase the work - only to destroy it.
Said Lovelace: I created the work to shed light on
what happened to [contemporary Chinese artist]
Ai Wei Wei. Like many people around the world,
I was quite upset that he could be taken away
like that. The plate, which is a propaganda plate
commemorating Mao, seemed to go well with that
feeling.
Ai Wei Wei is the dissident contemporary Chinese
artist and political activist who was highly critical
of the Chinese governments poor human rights
record and limiting of democratic freedoms. Sub-
sequent to his arrest in 2011 and being held by
Chinese offcials for over two months (without any
offcial charges being brought against him), the
international community rallied behind him, with
numerous calls for his release being issued.
In her interaction with the group, Esmyol, however
noticed that the offended group of Chinese visi-
tors appeared to have very little knowledge of Ai
or the international outcry around his
disappearance.
Said Esmyol: When I spoke to them about Ai Wei
Wei, they seemed to have no idea of the
controversy around him, which I found really
strange. Lovelace added: The big thing about
Wei Wei was that it was all over the internet with
people demanding to know his whereabouts.
People across the world took part in peaceful
protests outside Chinese embassies internation-
ally, so it is really strange and also quite telling
- that they appeared to not know who he was.
This attempt at locating the work within a broader
context did little to assuage the seemingly implac-
able anger of the group, which grew to such
an extent that Esmyol had it removed from the
table. Said Esmyol: I waited until they left and
then removed it from the table and placed it on a
side table within the same venue. When, on the
following Tuesday, I was given the go-ahead by
the Iziko management team to place it back in its
original position, I immediately did so.
A media statement released by Iziko stated: It
was promptly decided to return the plate to the
main setting on the clear understanding that
Iziko welcomes lively debate and discussions on
important social issues and commentary affecting
our shared humanity.
When The South African Art Times initially spoke
to Lovelace, she said: Its a diffcult decision
to make, especially given that Iziko is really a
government body and also considering the power
that China wields. I thought it best to leave them
to deal with it as they saw ft.
Subsequent discussion with the artist, however,
saw her note her disappointment with the manner
in which the institution dealt with the matter. Said
Lovelace: I fnd it disappointing that they had
to take the work down for four days while they
deliberated on what to do. An institution of Izikos
calibre should really have strategies in place for
these kind of occurrences.
Esmyol, however, countered that her decision
to remove the work was taken with the view
to protect it and other installation works from
any possible damage. Esmyol added: We still
welcome visitors, including people from mainland
China. It was just alarming that this particular
group of young visitors expressed themselves in
the way they did and that they seemed oblivious
to contemporary issues in their country.

SA ART TIMES. April 2013 09
At a media briefng yesterday morning, the
Department of Arts and Culture and the National
Arts Festival, Grahamstown commissioners and
curators respectively of the 2013 South African
Pavilion announced the theme and some of the
artists that will be representing South Africa at the
55th La Biennale di Venezia.
Curator of this exhibition, Brenton Maart, gives
context for their choices: To understand how
and why histories continue to impact on the world
today, contemporary South African artists are
turning to the archive, and the chronicles of his-
tory here become the building blocks for creative
action. Working with archives in a creative ways
allows the artist to create work with the potential
to (de)construct ideologies, and thus change
the course of our contemporary world. In South
Africa, specifcally, artists may therefore be seen
as activists in the evolution of democracy, and it is
this evolution that is explored in Imaginary Fact:
Contemporary South African Art and the Archive.
The voices contained in this exhibition are as
rich and varied as those of the citizens of our
country. They are bold and they are brave. Some
are already celebrated internationally, some are
beginning to make their voices heard. All are im-
mensely talented and, as a nation, we are proud
of them and of the opportunity to showcase them
to the world. said Minister of Arts and Culture,
Paul Mashatile. The following artists have been
contracted so far, to appear as part of the exhibi-
tion: Joanne Bloch, Wim Botha,
Kay Hassan, David Koloane, Gerhard Marx,
Maja Marx and Philip Miller, Sam Nhlengethwa,
Johannes Phokela, Cameron Platter, Andrew
Putter, Penny Siopis and Sue Williamson. Some
of the work represented will draw from the oeuvre
of these artists, while some will be commissioned
specifcally for this exhibition.
The painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, flm,
electronic and performance work on exhibition are
as representative of the diversity of concerns as
of the kinds of archive they access. The curatorial
concept artists who use materials of the past to
comment on the contemporary is poised as an
assessment to show where South Africa is, and
how far it has come, as the country approaches
its 20th anniversary of constitutional freedom.
explains curator Brenton Maart.
The exhibition is about the protection and pres-
ervation of our national heritage and the symbols
and artifacts of that heritage. said Mashatile.
He continued, It is also about using the arts to
question and challenge our reading of the past, to
reach a new understanding of it and to craft a new
and inclusive narrative for our country.
We have no doubt that those who will be repre-
senting us at this years Venice Biennale, will do
so with pride and distinction concluded Minister
Mashatile.
The 55th International Art Exhibition will take
place in Venice from 1 June to 24 November
2013. The title chosen by Exhibition Director Mas-
similiano Gioni for the 55th Biennale is Il Palazzo
Enciclopedico / The Encyclopaedic Palace.
The National Arts Festival is sponsored by Stand-
ard Bank, The National Lottery Distribution Trust
Fund, Eastern Cape Government, Department of
Arts and Culture, City Press and M Net.
SA artists to appear in Venice announced

BUSINESS ART
By Michael Coulson
A stunning price for Tretchikoffs much-hyped
Chinese Girl, which fetched more than three times
the low estimate, brought overall respectability
to Bonhams March sale of SA art, hiding patchy
returns elsewhere and confrming yet again the
old adage that what happens to the top-priced lots
determines perceptions of a sales success.
The cover lot, Chinese Girl was bid up to a record
982 000 (including buyers premium and Vat)
against the estimate of 300 000-500 000, the
successful bidder being London diamond dealer
Laurence Graff, who plans to install it at his Stel-
lenbosch wine estate, Dellaire Graff. All seven
Tretchis on the sale went, the others grossing
about 364 000, taking the total for his work to
just under 1.27m, just over 26% of the total pro-
ceeds. Traditional market leader Irma Stern, with
only three of her seven lots selling, grossed only
665 000, against the presale estimate of 1.44m,
though the other perennial favourite, Pierneef,
did somewhat better, selling seven of nine lots for
860 000, beating the presale estimate of 753
000. The big three together contributed almost
60% of the total proceeds.
Overall, sales were about 54% by number, but
over 70% by value, refecting buyers continuing
preference for quality work.

The big disappointment, on the other hand, was
the short special section devoted to William
Kentridge. Only nine of the 20 lots sold, including
neither of the two top estimates, so that the gross
of 406 000 was barely half the presale estimate
of 800 000. Taking both sessions together, a
gross of 4.5m was about 300 000 short of he
low estimate, but for the main session alone,
where 72 of 130 lots sold, the gross of about
4.1m was just over the 4m estimate.
Of the 10 top estimates, starting at 100 000 and
upwards, fve sold. After the Tretchikoff, top price
was 713 000 for a Pierneef view of Stellenbosch
(est 500 000-700 000, the inside front cover),
followed by 541 000 for Sterns Congo Beauty
(est 400 000-600 000), 457 000 for Alexis
Prellers Woman with a Lyre (est 400 000-600
000, the frontispiece) and 241 000 for Stanley
Pinkers Garden (est 200 000-300 000).
The rest of the top 10 sales comprised 121 000
for Tretchikoffs Herb Seller (est 80 000-120
000), 109 000 for Irma Sterns Lady Cellist
(est 90 000-120 000 -- about the third time of
asking, and barely a tenth of the initial estimate
at Strauss & Co in Joburg), 97 000 for another
Pierneeef (est 70 000-100 000), an amazing
record 52 000 for a Cyprian Shilakoe wooden
sculpture (est 3 000-5 000, the property of
the late actor Anthony Quinn) and 43 000 for
Tretchikoffs Balinese Dancer
(est 40 000-60 000).
Also a record was 43 000 for a bronze Head
by Dumile Feni (est 15 000-20 000). The old
record was 12 000.
Of other featured items, the back cover, Sterns
Zanzibar Garden, failed to sell, while the
inside back cover, Walter Battisss Bathers in a
Landscape, fetched 17 500 (est 10 000-15
000. Top price for a Kentridge was 115 000 for
Responsible Hedonism (est 80 000-120 000).
Of well-represented artists, besides those already
mentioned, Gladys Mugudlandlu sold eight of 11,
Cecil Skotnes six of 11, and Gregoire Boonzaaier
three of fve.
This is now the sixth auction running where the
gross has exceeded the previous years compara-
ble fgure, suggesting that the market for SA art is
recovering strongly. Lets hope the next two sales,
by each of the local houses in Joburg, confrm the
trend.
Tretchis 13M Chinese Girl boosts
Bonhams South African sale
By Michael Coulson
Is auction house Stephan Welz & Cos decision to
cut commission rates to both buyers and sellers
in certain price ranges to zero per cent just a
gimmick, or an innovative move to broaden the
market? Opinions in the art market are sharply
divided.
Bonhams SA specialist. Giles Peppiatt, is scepti-
cal. I dont think commission rates determine
where art is sold. People go where theyll get
the best net price. Some years ago, when our
competitors in London raised their commission
rates, we decided to be contrarian. We actually
cut our rates. But we found this didnt bring in any
extra business, and after a few months we quietly
fell in line.
Having said that, since I spoke to Peppiatt
Bonhams has announced that it is pegging its
commission rates and not matching recent hikes
by Sothebys and Christies, suggesting that there
are some at his frm who still think price competi-
tion may work.
Stephan Welz & Cos new chairman, Alan Demby,
whose idea it was, not surprisingly takes a differ-
ent view. I have no doubt that some of the new
buyers we saw at our Cape sale in February were
attracted by not having to pay commission. So it
certainly brought in new business.
He adds, though, that zero commission will be
dropped at the end of this month (April), and all
references to it have disappeared from the frms
web site. But he says that what he can bring to
the frm is his commercial expertise, and promises
further innovations on that front. These may
be inspired by the experience of his other, and
primary, business: the SA Gold Coin Exchange
and associated Scoin shops. Indeed, one such is
already announced in the catalogue for the frms
upcoming sale in Johannesburg, on April 23 and
24: it now offers a free safe custody service for
clients valuables, such as coins, stamps, jewel-
lery, watches and the like.
More than just a
gimmick?

TRETCHIS BIG SALE / SA ART AUCTIONS | BUSINESS ART
SA ART TIMES. April 2013 13
By Boris Gorelik
On 20 March Tretchikoffs Chinese Girl fetched
almost one million pounds at the Bonhams
auction in London.
Wed had enquiries from all four corners of the
earth, says Giles Peppiatt, Bonhams director
of South African Art. The media interest in the
Chinese Girl was enormous.
In terms of price, the Russian-born King or
Kitsch, or Peoples Painter, has overtaken
such heavyweights of South African art scene as
Sekoto, Preller and Pierneef. Irma Stern, whose
canvases go for up to three million pounds, is
still way ahead of him. But, Tretchikoff has now
become the countrys No 2 best-selling painter.
Is it right that critically acclaimed artists command
lower prices for their work than the author of the
Green Lady?
This might seem like a naive question. After all,
the market favours the works that attract buyers.
The more commercial appeal the work has, the
more it can fetch. But how come the worlds most
expensive canvases are pictures by Warhol, Pi-
casso, Richter and Monet? Why Jack Vettrianos
Singing Butler, one of the most popular paintings
of the last decades, with myriads of reproductions,
is worth forty-fve times less than Warhols Statue
of Liberty?
The correlation between the paintings popularity
and its price exists but, apparently, its not as strict
as some of us would like to believe.
Tretchikoffs heyday is the 1950-60s. The Chinese
Girl is a hit of yesteryear, a track from a nostalgic
compilation. And yet if you look up the current
value of work by other mass-market artists of his
era J H Lynch, C R DOyly-John, Vernon Ward,
Lou Shabner or David Shepherd Tretchikoff
always comes out on top.
I suppose its because the Chinese Girl isnt
merely a popular picture. It symbolises a certain
style, even a certain period. In this bizarre image,
Tretchikoff captured something that has excited
imagination of several generations. The Green
Lady is an icon, like posters of pop stars that peo-
ple like to adore. It doesnt have the same magical
power as back in the day, but even now its prints
are highly collectable, and her face appears on
countless trinkets and souvenirs, in flms and
music videos, on wallpaper and album covers.
Though reproductions of Tretchikoff work
remained in the list of top ten best-selling prints in
Britain for over a decade, he never managed to
create another icon that could match the magnet-
ism of the Chinese Girl. She embodied western
notions of mysteriousness of the East better than
Tretchis Miss Wong or Lady from Orient. She
served as an open vessel for fantasies better than
his Dying Swan or Lost Orchid. We can speculate
about reasons for her extraordinary, long-lasting
appeal, but I think they would have more to do
with sociology or psychology than art.
For all that, theres a limit to what mass-market
masterpieces can fetch.
This sale does show that theres some sort of
reappraisal of Tretchikoffs work, says Andrew
Lamprecht, the curator of the artists retrospective
at the Iziko S A National Gallery. The Chinese
Girl is undoubtedly his best-known work and has
a lot of other aspects and associations that must
have contributed to the price, such as its fame
overseas, wide dissemination in popular culture
and mass reproduction. But I doubt any other
work of his would ever come close, comparatively,
to the price reached for the Chinese Girl.
Giles Peppiatt would agree. He doesnt believe
that other prominent pictures by Tretchikoff will
catch up with the most expensive canvases by
Stern any time soon:
The Chinese Girl was a one-off. Tretchikoff didnt
paint others that match the fame of this work. I
do think that well sell good paintings by him for
100,000 and more but not for this sum again.
Not in my lifetime.

It was a period characterised by optimism, peace at home and in Europe. The peace and
prosperity in Paris allowed the arts to flourish and many masterpieces of literature, music, theater,
and visual art gained recognition. The Belle poque was named, in retrospect, when it began to be
considered a "golden age" in contrast to the horrors of World War 1.

Supplied: Johannesburg: Dying Swan by Vladimir
Tretchikoff, one of the most commercially
successful artists of our time, will be sold by
leading auction house, Strauss & Co, on 20 May
2013. The model for the painting, Dame Alicia
Markova, is depicted entwined with the bird she
portrayed, the two inseparable as she dies at the
end of the performance. Alicia Markova was an
English ballerina, choreographer director, teacher
of classical ballet and founder of the English
National Ballet. Together with Dame Margot
Fonteyn, she is one of only two English dancers
to be recognised as a prima ballerina assoluta, a
title given only to the most notable of female ballet
dancers.
Dying Swan was painted in 1949, when Alicia
Markova and her partner Anton Dolin were in
South Africa, on a sponsored tour with the London
Royal Ballet. Upon seeing her performance as
the Dying Swan in Swan Lake, Tretchikoff was
so deeply moved and captivated by her that he
requested, through a friend, if he might paint her.
He invited the ballerina and her manager to his
studio and they were both so enthused by his
work that Alicia, despite her heavy schedule, of-
fered all her free time to pose for him. In order to
complete the work, Tretchikoff was required to join
the entourage. When in Johannesburg, he stayed
at the Carlton Hotel and was given the premier
suite to use as a studio where most of the paint-
ing and posing was done. Alicias patience and
co-operation had a great infuence on the artist
and inspired him to produce a work of exceptional
quality.
When the company moved to Pretoria, Tretchikoff
watched Alicia dance once again with the same
fervour he had experienced previously. When
Anton Dolin noticed him at the concert he asked
him if he was back to see the dance of the Dying
Duck, stating that in the business thats the nick-
name for the Dying Swan. A bemused Tretchikoff
responded Ive got news for you. You know the
swan in the painting? I couldnt get the real thing,
so I painted it from a dead duck.
Experts are agreed that the swans head in the
painting is that of a duck. As for the owner, given
what he is expected to get from the sale of the
painting, he can certainly claim his duck has
turned into a swan.

The Great Debate: A debate is starting between Dalro, who represents its artists estates and royalty payments (generated by the artists works
being published in the media), and Strauss & Co, who is taking a bold stance against the principle of paying Dalro to basically popularize the artists
image in/on its Auction catalogues. On the one hand, artists and artists relatives ( as well as Dalro) can gain enormous sums from collecting royalties,
however even Andy Worhol would possibly support Strauss & Co in terms of the fact that the easier publishing and promotion of the artists image in the
media would, in effect, heighten the value of the artists work. Could it be simply put that Dalro and their represented artists estates are penny-wise and
dollar-blind? Then again its good that artists rights be promoted, but at the end of the day, the artist (or relatives) looses out on the estates rising prices
with art auction houses, galleries and publishing houses potentially not publishing their images in catalogues

Out with the old, in with the newest: Is the cult of contemporary banishing older art to the Dark Ages? The ArtNewspaper. By Satish Padiyar.
Bored by Old Masters? Modernity is our Antiquity. The art historian T.J. Clarks provocative dictum, coined at the turn of the 21st century, should cause
us to worry: are large swathes of art before the era of Western Modernism being lost to our comprehension? If Modernity is our Antiquity, this is to assert
that Czanne and Picasso have now become our true Classics, but also leads us to deplore the propelling of all art before them into what becomes a
Dark Age. Souce
Chasing the Chinese dragon, galleries open in Hong : Kong- Major dealers are opening spaces, but getting business isnt always easy The Art
Newspaper. By Katie Hunt.The New York dealer Lehmann Maupin will be the latest high-wattage international arrival on Hong Kongs gallery scene
when its Rem Koolhaas-designed space in the citys fnancial district opens on 14 March, bringing the likes of Tracey Emin, Lee Bul (opening exhibition,
until 11 May) and Juergen Teller to the regions collectors.Lehmann will occupy the pre-war Pedder Building, along with fellow New York gallery Gago-
sian, which opened in Hong Kong in 2011, and joins LondonsWhite Cube and Pariss Galerie Perrotin, which opened its frst Asian branch in the former

How and why taste changes: While an artists popularity can wax and wane, there are very few genuine rediscoveries : The Art Newspaper.
By David Ekserdjian. Maybe we should blame the flm Lust for Life, 1956, in which Kirk Douglas strutted his stuff as Vincent Van Gogh. What is certain
is the fact that the conventional idea of the artist as an unappreciated genius starving in a garret, whose merits will only be recognised when it is far too
late for him to reap any earthly beneft, is ominously well entrenched. What is more, this heart-warming scenario of posthumous glory also has a fip
side. It requires that any artists who have the misfortune to be admired in their own day had better make the most of it, since they will inevitably fall from
favour in the fullness of time. According to the 2012 Sunday Times Rich List, whose accuracy it would be foolhardy to question, Damien Hirst (number
360, 215m) and Anish Kapoor (number 908, 80m) are doing quite nicely, thank you. So, does this mean that we should be musing on the posthu-
mous obloquy they are bound to suffer? Source.
While the rich get richer... As the top galleries branch out, the middle tier is being squeezed : theartnewspaper: By Charlotte Burns.President
Barack Obama put the middle class at the heart of his State of the Union address last month. Corporate profts have While the rich get richer... As the
top galleries branch out, the middle tier is being squeezed skyrocketed to all-time highs, but for more than a decade, wages and incomes have barely
budged. It is our generations task to reignite the true engine of Americas economic growth: a rising, thriving middle class, he said. Obama may not
have had the art market in mind when he said this, but there are growing calls within the art community for a similar focus on its own middle section.
While there has been considerable growth at both the top and emerging ends of the trade, the middle has stagnated. Mega-galleries including Gago-
sian, David Zwirner, Pace and Hauser & Wirth have all expanded internationally, but mid-level galleries including Hotel, Agnews, Haunch of Venison
and Saamlung have recently closed, and there are fears that more will follow. Source
Boston art heist: FBI says it has solved mystery of $500m theft Investigators say they know who committed largest property robbery in US
history but not where the art is Associated Press guardian.co.uk. The FBI says it has solved the decades-old mystery of who stole $500m (330m)
worth of art from Bostons Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, but it is withholding the identities of the thieves, adding a further twist to the largest
property heist in US history. On the 23rd anniversary of the theft, authorities announced a new publicity campaign aimed at generating tips on what they
still do not know: where the missing art is. Their focus has shifted from catching the thieves to bringing home the precious work, including paintings by
Rembrandt, Manet, Degas and ermeer. Source.
Famous Art Thefts And Art Heists In Recent History, A Brief Look : Huffngtonpost. BOSTON -- Authorities announced this week that they believe

the biggest and most brazen art thefts in recent times:_ October 2012: Thieves broke into the Kunsthal art gallery in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and stole
seven works by artists, including Picasso, Monet, Gauguin and Matisse, potentially worth hundreds of millions of euros if sold legally. Source.
All smoke and mirrors? TheArtNewsPaper. By Alexander Adams.The many issues the market, law, conservation, originality, reproduction and simu-
lacrabearing on the meaning of authenticThe issue of authentication has become ever more pressing in an era when the value of art, the worlds
premier luxury commodity (bought as investment and status symbol), is predicated on the aura of authenticity. The introduction of Art and Authenticity
raises as an object lesson La Bella Principessa (the beautiful princess), a drawing assumed to be a skilful 19th-century pastiche of Leonardo da Vinci
until a recent (largely rejected) attribution to the master himself. The attribution changes the object in no respect other than raising the value by $150m.

Market News: rare Edvard Munch print sells for record amount Sothebys sold a rare colour aquatint by Edvard Munch for a record 2.1
million , says Colin Gleadell.Sothebys highlight was the collection of the late Mark Birley, founder of Annabels club, in which all but fve of 500 lots,
including lashings of dog paintings, were sold for 3.8 million, more than double the estimate, while Christies had the cream of the print sales in a rare
colour aquatint by Edvard Munch of a young woman standing alone on a beach. The print had belonged to the art historian Curt Glaser, who was forced
to sell his collection by the Nazis. Returned to his heirs last year, it sold for a record 2.1 million to Oslos Galleri K, bidding for a European collector.

32 SA ART TIMES. April 2013
Theres more to Marcel Duchamp than urinals. How much more, is explored
in a ground-breaking exhibition at the Barbican this spring an exhibition
that weaves together many art forms, allowing the viewer to understand
the present through the prism of the past. It is an exciting inter-disciplinary
show that only a major arts institution could present. The Barbican deserves
full marks for doing so. Using Duchamp and his infuence on four modern
American artists as the central theme, it includes not only the visual arts, but
dance, music, flm, theatre and discussion.
The Bride and the Bachelors: Duchamp with Cage, Cunningham,
Rauschenberg and Johns, (until 9 June) looks at how Duchamp infuenced
another generation of artists: composer John Cage, choreographer Merce
Cunningham and visual artists Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. It
is orchestrated by contemporary artist Philippe Parreno (whose work can be
seen on the Haywards Light Show). The sound loop of three hours includes
Cages famous composition, 433 and the silence that the audience hears
are the random sounds from the tunnel outside the Barbican. Cunningham,
who died in 2009, is represented by students trained by a former Cun-
ningham dancer, with performances on Thursdays and at weekends. At
other times the recorded footfall of performers echoes through the galleries
to make the dance a constant and active part of the whole. It is the most
integrated inter-disciplinary programming imaginable, showing how art forms
cross fertilise each other across the generations. Hugely entertaining, it also
functions as a fascinating slice of contemporary history and for this reason
alone is worth a visit.
Duchamp may be considered the most important modern artist, but he isnt
one we see very often. His most seminal works are housed in Philadelphia,
and they are not loaned out frequently. He is credited with being the man
who started conceptual art when in 1917 he signed a urinal R.Mutt and
displayed it as a work of art. His revolutionary infuence is still felt today
some would say he spawned a monster that cast aside the skill of an artist
with his use of readymade objects. Certainly he challenged the defnition of
art with his use of humour and the manner in which he explored the element
of chance, as all these four later artists did too.
Among the work on show is Duchamps Nude Descending a Staircase (No
2) from 1912, various readymades including the bicycle wheel mounted
on a stool and the iconic and enigmatic The Bride Stripped Bare by Her
Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass), a replica of the 1915-23 original.
Alongside this are major works by Johns and Rauschenberg, some of which
are homage to Duchamp. The upstairs galleries are themed around the use
of chance, as well as that of chess. Duchamp embraced the ephemeral,
and appeared to abandon art and devote himself to chess from 1923. The
interplay between his ideas and those he infuenced, both in person and
artistically, is an intriguing and ongoing dialogue, and seeing this show, you
understand why Duchamp regarded the spectator a vital element in the
creative act.
The Tate Modern hosts the frst major retrospective of Pop artist Roy Lich-
tenstein in twenty years (until 27 May), one which has been seen in Chicago
and Washington and travels on to the Pompidou Centre. It was a smash hit
in America, and will no doubt draw the crowds in London.
Roy Lichtensteins comic book heroes still look remarkably modern for work
that dates from the early Sixties. His iconic painting of a fghter jet, Whaam!,
made at the time of the Vietnam war and part of the Tates permanent collec-
tion, at once celebrates a comic culture and acts as a powerful comment on
the reality of war.
There are few artists whose images are so much part of the collective
consciousness as Lichtensteins cartoon heroes. They are reproduced end-
lessly, whether it is in primary school art classes or on advertising billboards:
the Barbie-doll girls with a teardrop glistening on the cheek, the chiselled
features of a gorgeous hunk with the speech bubbles capturing all the angst
of young love.
It comes as something of a shock to realise that these well-loved images
that took their inspiration from comic strips only covered a period of around
seven years of the artists long life. The Tate presents them in a huge room
entitled War and Romance, and almost every image is familiar. En masse,
their energy, humour and style and the explosive drama of their content is a
delight to behold. This is the Lichtenstein that people know and love, and this
room, above all the others, will be what enthralls them.
It isnt all there is though. Having found his unique style by codifying popular
culture, the artist went on to explore this vision. He saw all images as exist-
ing on the level of mass production the element that has made his work
so popular. He turned to other artists, like Picasso, whom he admired im-
mensely, and translated their work into his idiom, with his trademark Benday
dots, sharp outlines and cartoon style. The result is interesting a defnitively
Lichtenstein version of the artist to whom he pays homage.
The curators see Lichtenstein as an artist who continues to innovate, who
remains true to his ideals, and not someone who had one good idea he
mined for all he was worth. The further one ventures through this retrospec-
tive though, the more diffcult this is to see. His later series involved revisiting
the Barbie-doll fgures of his youth and turning them into nudes, while the
dots have gone viral, making some of them look like they have a bad case
of measles. He then returned to the colourful expressionism with which he
began his career and fnally turned to traditional Chinese landscape, giving it
his signature dots. The bland and banal result has neither the peaceful calm
of landscape nor the sizzling power of cartoon culture.
I have no doubt that Lichtenstein: A Retrospective will be a blockbuster, but
my guess is that viewers will enjoy the shock of recognition with the early
work, and leave wondering whether the artist continued a great idea far too
long. Perhaps he should have followed Duchamps lead and taken up chess
in later life.

One of the leading landscape painters in the Country,
Daniel Novela has recently introduced Mezzotint
Printmaking in his Portfolio.
Daniel studied ne arts at the Vaal University of
Technology Klerksdorp Campus, majoring in painting
and printmaking. He obtained his National Diploma in
the year 2000 with accolades as one
of the top students. Towards the end
of his third year Daniel was asked by
Mrs Amareza Buys, the acting head
of the Fine Art and Graphic Design
department at the time, to present
etching classes to the 2nd year students
of which he did successfully. His recent
Mezzotint Medium becomes a real
sensual experience which resembles
the mood of his painterly work, that the
eyes can touch and convey emotions.
Daniels efort to introduce this
technique was to escape from the use of toxic and
dangerous chemicals used for etching. While Mezzotint
printmaking is free from any toxic chemicals, it is
mechanical and physical: all you need is a Rocker, scraper,
burnisher, roulette and copper plate to make a mezzotint
print. The plate must be thoroughly rocked and it must
print a very rich velvety black. The press must have a
large amount of pressure on the plate. Daniel imports
most of his tools from USA and UK as there are only very
limited number of artists in the country doing Mezzotint
printmaking and as a result art shops in SA do not keep
Mezzotint material and he only buys the best material
available in the market. Brands such as
E C Lyons, Charbonnel, Gamblin are
Daniels favourite. It takes several hours
and weeks to rock just one plate. It may
take over eight hours to rock a very
small plate measuring about 10x15cm!
The commercially prepared (pre-
mezzotinted) plates are available in the
overseas markets but these do not yield
deep tones like hand rocked plates
which have been cut more deeply into
the metal enabling them to produce
diferent and rich greys of tonal values.
The hand rocked plate is the best tool for mezzotint and
there is no better substitute for it so far.

SA ART TIMES. April 2013 39
Printmaking has a strong tradition in Cape Town and although quiet, like the rest
of South Africa from the 1990s to 2000, it is now facing an amazing resurgence
through the establishment of Warren editions, Judy Woodborne Print Studio and
Pangolin Press (Alma Vorster). In addition to this resurgence, printmaking has a
growing appeal with young artists who seek to both learn traditional printmaking,
as well as to morph the traditional with new (digital) printmaking technology. Print-
making is being taught at Ruth Prowse, Michaelis (UCT) as well as Stellenbosch
Art Departments, with all heads of printmaking being young and dynamic hands-
on capable people.
The sale of prints is on the up with the establishment of The SA Print Gallery
that exclusively deals with Fine Art Prints. Other Galleries in Cape Town include
34 Fine Art, The Goodman Gallery, David Krut and Kalk Bay Modern. Other
galleries that previously never dealt with prints are now taking printmaking more
seriously, such as The Everard Read Gallery, who rarely dealt with prints but now
enjoys the rising fame and print sales from Phillemon Hlungwani.
A Brief history : Cape Art History has always had a good romance with print-
making. Local famous artists who have created bodies of prints include Tinus de
Jong, Nita Spilhaus, Pieter Wenning Katherine Harries, Irma Stern, Jean Welz,
Wolf Kibel, Maurice van Essche, Maggie Laubser, Alice Goldin, Cecil Skotnes
and more recently Kevin Atkinson, Peter Clarke, Mollie Townsend and Sue Wil-
liamson (both created in the Graphic Centre). In the 80s, especially printmaking
was a sharp tool of protest art against Apartheid with many posters being
made for political groups such as the ECC and trade unions produced on kitchen
tables, and CAP under the handful of community art educators such as Lionel
Davies. During the early 80s, Hardground Printmakers was founded by Jonathan
Comerford, who collaborated with numerous local artists. At this stage, a new
generation of printmakers took root, including Julio Tamberlini, Billy Mandindi,
Judy Woodborne, Gabriel Clark-Brown, Alma Vorster and Eunice Gerstyn. Stel-
lenbosch Printmakers included the bad boys of bitter commix, Anton Kanne-
meyer and Conrad Botes, whose medium was mainly silkscreen. With the advent
of digital and traditional media, a new and exciting generation of printmakers who
integrate new technology is forming- especially through the educational institutes
such as Michealis School of Art and Stellenbosch Art Department Printmaking
Departments please revise sentence. Much digital pioneering work is also done
via Russel Joness Scan Shop, who works closely with both young and profes-
sional artists in evolving the digital side to their art. Recently, Art Lab with Craig
White has opened at the Biscuit Mill, branches out to fabrics.
Although the Fine Art Printmaking growth and markets dip from time to time (a
short while between cycles), there has now evolved a good and strong South Afri-
can printmaking history, creating a rich and diverse secondly market that is seen
through the increasingly strong prices paid by collectors for Pierneef, Battiss,
Hodgins, Kentridge, Nhlengethwa, Clarke and Victor prints. With such a secure
growth and diverse interest in local printmaking, a printmaking star is on the rise,
and although the medium has not had as rapid growth as photography, prices for
prints - based on better understanding and enthusiasm for prints - is very much
on the rise.
Fine Art Printmaking in Cape Town Feature
We will be focusing on Printmaking in Johannesburg for our October 2013 Printmaking supplement. In our April 2014 edition we will focus on
Printmaking nationally with emphasis on KZN and Eastern Cape. Please send your comments and materials to editor@arttimes.co.za.
The South African Print Gallery was established by Gabriel Clark-Brown, a Master Printmaker who sought to promote the appreciation of South African fne
art printmaking. The emphasis of the gallery is to promote the language of printmaking not just simply deal with big names, but rather focus on the diverse
approaches, quality and unique quirkiness of individual prints by both good and obscure artists. Below: Gabriel Clark-Brown, Kevin de Klerk Gallery Manager.

The projects at Warren Editions are a testament to the exciting possibilities of printmaking. The studio is busier than ever, its output covering intaglio, monotype and
relief, while the format seems to be increasing with every project. The dynamic between the artists and the printing team feeds back into the multifarious nature of print-
making, and at the same time the parameters offered by the print medium push the artists into trajectories outside of the mediums they generally employ. The motto
at Warren Editions is lets print! Images: (Top) Jan Philip Raath, Madelize vd Merwe, Morne Visagie and Zhane Warren print using lino cut (Top right) Zhane Warren

Robert Hodgins at The Artists Press
Seventy-nine of the four hundred prints in the collection that Hogins gener-
ously donated to the Wits Art Museum were done by The Artists Press. The
catalogue of the collection is beautifully done and well worth adding to ones
library. The quotes by Robert Hodgins above are all taken from Kathryn
Smiths excellent essay that accompanies the Shows catalogue.
Assembled musings of an artist and master printer.
Mark Attwood frst met Robert Hodgins when Rob arrived to work with Marks
father, Bruce Attwood at The Broederstroom Press. They had a disagree-
ment and Rob left within an hour, Mark recalls. This rather inauspicious start
was resolved about ffteen years later when Robert started working with Mark
at The Bag Factory. So successful was their teamwork that Rob returned
at least sixteen times to work at The Artists Press. Ten of those sessions
were at the studio in White River, Mpumalanga. Each session would last two
weeks, which meant that Mark and Rob got to know each other well.
What was it like to work with Robert?
It is hard to fnd words to explain what working with Rob was like. Working
with him was different every time. What I liked was the way that he enjoyed
it and seemed to get so much out of it. It is lovely working with someone who
just enjoys being in the water so to speak. He was so willing to go with the
fow with whatever came up. He was not rigid in his approach and did not
want to control every step of the process. He welcomed the odd accident and
was excited to see where it would take him.
He really loved the process, the texture of the mark, the tactile quality of the
ink. He used to really savour working and relish the results of what he did
when he thought it was up to scratch.
The best thing about working with Rob was the challenge of not knowing
what he would decide to work on the next day.
Rob: My frst serious graphic was done on a stone at Goldsmiths, and I have
got one of them left. Its printed on yellowing cartridge. Its not very good and
I didnt print it. I dont do the acid or any of those things, but thats when I fell
for it. And I actually like that bit where you grind the stone down and it comes
up this beautiful buff colour, waiting for you to stroke it. You dont even have
to press, you just stroke and it builds up this velvety darkness. I said to Mark,
next time Im having a stone, I dont care if it is two inches square, Im hav-
ing a stone! Plate is nice, but stone...! Stone is sensual, really.
Lithography is essentially a painters process as it is so painterly. Rob
latched onto that more than anyone else that I have worked with. He enjoyed
the fact that he could do things in print that were just not possible with paint
on canvas; and bounce his ideas between printing and painting.
Rob: Working with Mark, I remember a print called A Greek God Up To
No Good, which was a Greek god groping for a nymphs bosom. And it was
beautiful. There was a purple over a blue which sang the whole of the Mes-
siah as far as I was concerned. It was a hesitant print. In places, I got him to
print one dab of red. And we went through about 35 goes before we got it
right. Now to have a printer like that...
Whenever Rob was unsure about something, or if Linda Givon was in the
studio to look at what he was doing, he would nervously start to jiggle the
coins in his pocket.
What do you think Robert brought to South African printmaking?
He was able to show others that printmaking is an important part of a suc-
cessful artists output and that collaboration is the best way to achieve good
prints. Apart from a few of his very early works he always chose to work in
collaboration with a printer; thereby maximising the technical skills at his
disposal.
Rob (talking about printers): Yes! Hes your handlanger. He picks up the tools
and he does the work. It is very unsatisfactory relationship because it is so
mechanical. But it does end up in literally perfect prints. One of the things
I like about Mark when he does an edition, is that every print is examined
before it is handed over to you for numbering. Hes very professional. The
secret of Hodgins life is that he doesnt want to be bored. And he doesnt
want to be bored when hes making anything to do with art. He wants it to
open up and challenge him, and come right-normally it does. Mark doesnt
mind this.
What comes to mind when you think of Robert?
What I found really touching about Rob was his frugal nature. He took great
care of his brushes and he used things carefully. He still had brushes that he
had been using since he was a student at Goldsmiths, some sixty odd years
ago. If a print failed he would never just throw it away. He would come back
to it months or sometimes years later to fnish it off.
Rob: ... I dont mind the slowness. I dont mind it in painting. Ive got two
paintings that are about fve or six years old and Ive no idea. I keep hanging
onto them and looking at them and maybe adding a dab here..... Thats (also)
what I like about monotype with Mark; he is immensely patient.
Mark: In the last series of prints that Rob worked on at The Artists Press
he did one which really struck me. If you count the chairs in Chairs you will
see that there is one chair for every decade of Robs life. It is almost as if it
was a premonition/refection on his death which came a few months after
completing the print.
My favourite memory of Rob is him strutting around the studio after being
told of record prices being paid for his work on auction as well as having a
successful exhibition saying Hodgins is HOT, Hodgins is HOT!!
Hodgins made prints at The Artists Press from 2000 until shortly before
his death in 2010. It was always a pleasure to have Robs energy, sticky
tea buns and humour in the studio. Mark Attwood had a special place at
his press for Hodgins as he felt that the old man pushed him harder and
challenged him more that most other artists. When the printer and artist col-
laborated the energy in the print shop was tangible. Hodgins used mono-
prints as his starting point and then developed ones that he liked most into
lithographs. He also experimented with hand coloured photogravure prints.

Hlungwani is one of our most promising young artists in South Africa. He is
an extremely talented and dedicated artist who has cemented his importance
in the art world through the consistent production of relevant and inspired
works. His landscape images refer to the self, family and history - personal
and general - functioning as a type of documentation of his background. The
mark making process is one of great import to Hlungwanis work and his line
carries with it an energy that reveals his great passion.
Phillemon Hlungwani was born in Thomo Village in 1975, Giyani in Limpopo
Province. He attended Thomo primary school and Hanyani Thomo High
School where he was under the guidance of his art teacher, motivator and
friend Muxe Moses Mthombeni. Hlungwani obtained frst class in Art in Mat-
ric. Mthombeni was one of art teachers who encouraged Hlungwani in basics
foundation in art at high school level.
After completing high school, he went to the Johannesburg Art Foundation
to study a Fine Art course and subsequently the Artist Proof Studio to study
printmaking under the mentorship of Kim Berman, the late Nhlahla Xaba and
Osiah Masukameng. Hlungwani has studied a teachers training course in
art at the WITS School of Art and was also involved in facilitating profes-
sional classes at the Artist Proof Studio and Unit manages for papermaking.
He is still based at the Artist Proof Studio as the coordinator for community
outreach and special projects. For example he has worked on projects
NOAHS Arks and Man as Partners xenophobia mural. In addition to pursu-
ing his career as a successful professional artist, Hlungwani is an art advisor,
mentoring young upcoming artists. The artist has also participated in an
extensive study tour of printmaking studios in the United States, sponsored
by the prestigious Ampersand Foundation Fellowship.
Phillemon Hlungwani uses his technical ability as a draughtsman by using
charcoal on paper to explore new ideas around his culture and the journeys
of everyday life. Among other publications, Top Billing magazine and TV
Programme profled him to demonstrate the power of prayer as an art form.
Spirituality is a recurring theme in his charcoal drawings and dry-point etch-
ings and the images are often flled with majestic trees.
Hlungwani attributes the start of his career to the support given to him by his
mother and he comes from a family of artists. He says that art chose him,
that he did not choose art. His work explores his relationship with the envi-
ronment. When Hlungwani was a young boy he would herd goats and cattle
and the Tsengelendotwe tree which bears a fruit that they would mix with
the fresh milk from the herd and drink as a milkshake. He also expresses
his relationships with chickens and their interdependency: They provide the
time, warmth, food they help with so many things so they become part of
the family.
When I was about fve or six I did a drawing on the ground, my mother went
and covered the drawing with a dish to protect it from the rain and other ele-
ments, so later I could go back and fnish my drawing. Trees are continually
represented in his work as the relate to the spiritual connection he associ-
ates with them. Trees are a place for prayer, healing processes and worship-
ping. His landscape images refer to self, family and history, functioning as a
type of documentation of his background. Hlungwanis preferred printmaking
techniques are intaglio dry-point etching, linocut and charcoal on paper. His
works explore new ideas around his culture and the journeys of everyday life.
He fnds the practice or printmaking and drawing more expressive than other
techniques as these allow him to work freely and texturally with line.
Hlungwani has completed and facilitated many wall murals, with example of
the mural at The Standard Bank Art Gallery (for the Picasso in Africa exhibi-
tion) and the mural for Bell Dewar and Hall. He was also commissioned work
by the JDA (Johannesburg Development Agencies), MTN and the South
African Governmental offces.

SA ART TIMES. April 2013 47
South Africas long tradition of printmaking as an art form and as a form of
social critique is one that commands international respect. This was certainly
underscored by the exhibition, Impressions from South Africa 1965 to Now:
Prints from the Museum of Modern Art curated by Judith B Hecker and
mounted in New York from March to August 2011. Such international interest
in South African prints has followed in the wake of the phenomenal success
of William Kentridge for whom printmaking is a major vehicle of expression.
There has been an exponential growth in the market for South African
prints over the last few years. Given their large scale and impact, its hardly
surprising that Kentridges heads and irises have fared well culminating in
his Untitled (Head) selling for R868 920 on estimates of R600 000 900 000
at Strauss & Cos February 2012 auction in Cape Town. Its success was in
some measure due to the possibility of reading this aspirational image, with
an upturned face and eyes closed as if dreaming or longing for something
ahead, as symbolic of the hope and change which South Africa experienced
around 1993 when the print was produced. The fact that it was selected for
the cover of Contemporary South African Art: The Gencor Collection,
published in Johannesburg in 1997, would also have increased its
desirability.
More surprising to some punters was the fact that the more recently pro-
duced Scribble Cat, also by Kentridge, estimated at R280 000 320 000,
sold for R634 980 at Strauss & Cos October 2012 auction in Cape Town.
Prints that fare best at auction are often those that are perceived by the
market to be key works by top printmakers. When it comes to Walter Battiss,
his orgies elicit the most competitive bidding. Orgy 3 estimated at
R18 000 24 000 sold for R61 270 in Strauss & Cos Cape Town auction in
February this year.
Keen interest continues in earlier prints particularly when they are rare and
highly sought-after. J H Pierneefs Hoenderhok, Meerlust estimated at
R18 000 24 000 sold for 53 472 at Strauss& Cos September 2011
auction. This impressive result was largely due to the fact that this image
was selected for the cover of the brochure for the Architectural Section of the
Empire Exhibition, held for the frst time in South Africa in 1936.
