It is with a heavy heart that we report of the
passing of Erik Laubscher and Francois Roux
this month, both artists I knew and who were part
of many peoples daily lives and inspirations. It
seems so strange with Eriks passing - as one
almost expects him to walk around the corner and
continue a conversation from just the other day
- a great conversationalist he was too. Erik really
cared about the arts community and was active
in making our art environment a better place for
all artists chatting with both a sincerity as well a
twinkle in his eye. The last conversation we had
he described how a few artists and friends turned
a very run down and abandoned farm house into
the Ruth Prowse Art School from backbreaking
barrows of sand, dust and rubble to one of SA
leading art schools. This all took dedication, hard
work, fundraising and commitment. Erik also lead
a highly successful art career - opening up the
majestic Overberg with his own signature style.
I am confdent that Eriks ethos will continue, as
we South Africans have the history in our DNA
to change things around and roll up our sleeves
and do what is right. Recently I see this with the
new and exciting Arts Journey in Port Elizabeth,
Anthony Harris and his teams hard work is paying
off, the opening up of a greatly undervalued and
enchanting Eastern Cape Pandoras box - where
many a great art master and personality are to
be found - will all make their way onto the cultural
map and art market.
The Art Times will be this month will be
available at The Arts Journey - Port Elizabeth
National Arts Festival - Grahamstown and the
exciting and new FynArts Festival - Hermanus.

ERIK LAUBSCHER 1927 - 2013 / NEWS | ART TIMES
Fiona Chisholm: Cape Times Thursday 23 2013:
Erik Laubscher, the paint salesman who became
the frst living artist to fetch R 1M for a painting at
a local auction, died in his sleep at Kronendal in
Hout Bay yesterday morning. Aged 86, hed been
in ailing health for some time. Laubscher was a
man of bold views and colours, a born teacher
and a hands-on personality. He sold paints for
15 years to keep his family going and led from the
front in the conversion of a dilapidated Woodstock
outbuilding into the Ruth Prowse Art Centre and
its founder/ director for 25 years. In 2009 his oil
painting Still life with mandolin, music score and
fruit fetched R 1.2 M at an auction in Cape Town.
During his illustrious career spanning 60 years,
he represented South Africa at the Sao Paulo
and Venice Biennale and was included in major
museums, university and public collections.
Laubschers contribution lies not only in his
creative paintings, but in every feld connected
with art, like activism, at which he was always in
the forefront, and in art teaching. Said Dr Hans
Fransen, author of Erik Laubscher: A Life in Art
published in 2009 by SMAC Art Gallery to coin-
cide with Lauschers retrospective exhibition.
Most of his life he was an abstract painter, par-
ticularly of landscapes. He was perhaps the one
who most pertinently adapted abstract art to the
South African scene.
Laubscher was born on the 3 February, 1927 in
Tulbagh. His father was Glasgow trained
physician with strong interests in psychiatry. His
mother was the daughter of an Edinburgh
professor of music.
His artists talents were frst recognized in 1940 at
Pinelands Junior School but after UCT rejected
him because he could not draw, he took private
art lessons with the well-known Belgian painter
Maurice van Essche who persuaded him to study
in London.
Moving to the Ecole de Paris changed his life.
He fell in love with a young French artist, Claude
Bouscharainm, at the Academie Montmartre.
They married in Cape Town in October 1951.
Laubscher is survived by his wife Claude, son
Pierre and daughters Michele Human and
Francesca Gayraund-Laubscher.

The First 3D-Printed Gun Has Been Fired
The Huffngton Post | By Alexis Kleinman: The worlds frst 3D printed gun fred
its frst shot on Sunday, according to this video released by Defense Distributed,
the controversial company pushing for D-I-Y weapons.
Cody Wilson, of Defense Distributed, the company behind The Liberator, told the
BBC that he is not concerned with the potential harm the gun could cause. He
said, I recognise the tool might be used to harm other people - thats what the
tool is - its a gun. But I dont think thats a reason to not do it - or a reason not to
put it out there.

Poop: Paul McCarthys 50-foot-tall infatable sculpture portraying a pile of excre-
ment, Complex Pile, has caused a bit of a mess. The scatalogical work was
on view as part of an exhibition of infatable art organized by M+ in Hong Kongs
West Kowloon Cultural District, but things went wrong when a spate of extreme
weather caused it to burst. A small hole was discovered on the surface of the
piece. We are doing our best to fx it and hopefully we can infate the artwork as
soon as possible, a spokesperson for the cultural district said.
Twenty years of White Cube
Theartnewspaper. Jay Jopling started his gallery in 1993. Two decades later, hes
no less secretive but a whole lot richer. By Martin Bailey. Twenty years ago this
month, Jay Jopling, then 29, approached Christies with an audacious request.
The auction house had a room on the frst foor of a building in Duke Street: would
they allow him to take it over rent-free as a gallery space? In return, Jopling
promised to attract a new clientele to the areathose interested in cutting-edge
contemporary art.Naming the gallery White Cube was a stroke of genius. Most
commercial galleries are named after their owners, but this snappy phrase
made it sound almost as if it was a public space. The name came from Brian
ODohertys 1986 book Inside the White Cube: the Ideology of the Gallery Space.
The room was, in fact, nearly square (4.4m by 4.6m, with a 2.9m-high ceiling).
Jopling painted the walls white, of course.
Artist Tracey Emin: Critics Are Harsher Because Im a Woman
www.vanityfair.com. By Lauren Christensen. She is not known for subtletyin
either her work or her personalitybut the prominent, often brow-raising Brit-
ish artist Tracey Emins latest sculpture, a single bronze bird perched atop a
13-foot pole in New York Citys SoHo neighborhood, is just that: unassuming.
The Lehmann Maupin gallery, which launched the installation this past Friday
in collaboration with the Art Production Fund and White Cube, also opened a
contemporaneous exhibition, Tracey Emin: I Followed You to the Sun, earlier
this month, and her frst solo museum exhibition in the U.S. will open at Miamis
Museum of Contemporary Art in December.
In the art media radar
I was the Chinese Girl in Tretchikoffs painting
BBC. Earlier this year Vladimir Tretchikoffs portrait
Chinese Girl, often referred to as The Green Lady, was sold
for almost 1m ($1.5m) at auction in London - a refection of
its status as one of the most popular prints ever made. The
model, Monika Pon-su-san, recalls what it was like to be
thrust into the limelight. One day in 1950, a curly-haired
stranger walked into my uncles laundry in Cape Town, where
I worked. He stood there as I served a customer, his eyes
fxed on me the whole time. He only spoke when we were alone together in the
shop. Hello! he said. Im Tretchikoff. Id love to paint you.At that time Vladimir
Tretchikoff wasnt very famous but by chance I had read about him in a news-
paper just the Saturday before. So I was a bit nervous, but I said yes. He picked
me up after work and took me back home.I was given his wifes gown to put on.
It was silk chiffon - beautiful, beautiful stuff. It wasnt yellow like in the painting
- that was his own invention.A lot of people ask me: What is that stern look you
had on your face? What were you thinking about? And I always say: Well you
know, one gets tired sitting and just looking.

ART TIMES | G2 GALLERY : JHB: THINKING IN PAINT OPENING SPEECH
10 SA ART TIMES. June 2013
Dr Gerhard Schoeman
In his book What painting is, the American art historian James Elkins, whose
prolifc and apparently effortless production of book after book is frustrating
to us who labour over every sentence, as if it will be the last, tries to close
in on the materiality and substantiality of paint and the physical process of
painting by comparing painting with alchemy. Elkins asks, What is thinking
in painting, as opposed to thinking about painting? According to Elkins, this
is where alchemy can help, because it is the most developed language for
thinking in substances and processes.

Elkins distinguishes between spiritual and practical alchemy. In spiritual al-
chemy, which tends to be privileged over practical laboratory-based alchemy
by, amongst others, Carl Jung, the alchemist seeks intellectual transmuta-
tion. The grubby processes of the alchemists laboratory are turned into
spiritual allegories. The spiritual or meditative alchemist doesnt really like
to get his or her hands dirty. The Philosophers Stone, which is the goal of
alchemy, signifes redemption of the spirit and the mind divorced from the
push and pull of the material world.
On the other hand, there are a few alchemists for whom the physical proc-
esses of the laboratory, the manipulation of actual substances, are goals
in themselves. For such alchemists the laboratory is a place of physical
labour, of agonising over materials and of revelling in tactility sight, touch
and smell. Elkins observes that art historians tend to be uncomfortable with
paint and prefer meanings that are not intimately dependent on the ways the
paintings were made. Like spiritual alchemists, art historians prefer the clean
idea over the messy thing.
He writes: But painting is a painting, and not words describing the artist or
the place it was made or the people who commissioned it. A painting is made
of paint of fuids and stone and paint has its own logic, and its own
meanings even before it is shaped into the head of a Madonna. To an artist,
a picture is both a sum of ideas and a blurry memory of pushing paint,
breathing fumes, dripping oils and wiping brushes, smearing and diluting and
mixing.
For Elkins writing and thinking about painting should include writing and
thinking in painting. The fnished product, of painting or writing, might be
neatly framed but it also remains a material thing that moves in time and that
can be thought and felt, discovered and lost in time. Thinking in paint means
thinking in time which marks us so indelibly that, like the scene in Stanley
Kubricks 2001: A space odyssey when the computer HALs mind goes and
he dies, we can feel it.
Thinking in paint is a tactile process. There might be something spiritual
about it, too, but spirit here is not divorced from body, however much body
forsakes us. Thinking in paint matters, every mark on the painted surface
refects this. Walter Benjamin says of the eternal that it is far more the ruffe
on a dress than some idea. Inverting Plato, he means matter does not refect
some eternal Idea but, rather, ideas, which contain images of the world, are
embedded in the materiality of things such as paintings.
What do the paintings of Ricky Burnett, David Koloane, Gail Behrmann
and Jenny Stadler have in common if not the materiality of things, which
confgure and bring to mind other things, in time? It is raining in Johannes-
burg whilst I write this, which reminds me that materiality and physicality are
inseparable from memory the memory in and of things. Every surface
has a memory and the sound, sight and smell of rain reminds me of this.
This rain, here and now, which reminds me of the sound of water dripping in
Andrei Tarkovskys flm Stalker, which I struggled with many years ago, is an
index of time lost, regained and lost again. I think of it as marks on a surface,
which illuminate other marks, whilst temporarily covering over others. Time
rushes and lingers. Rain, like paint, matters as an index of the substance and
feetingness of time. I can think it, I can feel it.
In Burnetts paintings words have the rhythm of painted, smeared, dragged
and scuffed marks and these tactile marks have the rhythm of words. Paint,
like words, is elastic; it takes place, stretches and relaxes in time. Something
appears in and on the surface, a trace of a trace of an idea. A line by Walter
Stevens, another by William Blake: words beget words, which beget smears,
stains bleeding into other stains. Elegant stains and dribbles, like carefully
formed sentences. I see circles in the paint, sometimes painted over or hid-
den by other shapes. Circles within circles.
I see circles in Koloanes paintings too. Primordial shapes, often slanted,
which beget, transform and continue fragments of a world. It is an obscure
world, almost child-like. Rhythm and repetition produce difference and
similarity: I have seen this before, somewhere in intricate graffti on a wall.
Shapes seem to hover in the marks, which are slanted like hand-writing. The
hand that made the mark is present and deferred in the mark. I can read it,
I can sense it, I can touch it with my eyes. Following the artists example, I
project my body into the work studio or laboratory work.
Behrmanns monochrome paintings have physical presence. They take
up space. In fact, the thickly applied paint itself takes up space; it has its
own light and shadow. Thick, viscous paint forms a surface, which covers a
previously painted surface. The paint is thick with time. Seductive whites and
greys with hints of brown or purple or even black peering through. Layered
surfaces, layered in time. Some areas are scratched, pushed, covered over;
other areas retreat, and come back. I think I see something emerge from the
thicket Monets lilies maybe, or Jasper Johnss cross-hatching. Then the
painting returns to being itself, being in time.
Stadlers large-scale painting, the largest in this exhibition, also bears traces
of Jasper Johnss chromatic colour and marks. Then Johns merges with
other traces, impressionistic rain in an urban setting, shifting and turning.
The scale is impressive but so are the details in the work. One can sense
the artist moving in closer, then standing back to get the full scope of the
picture, than zooming in again. Bits of paper are stuck to the surface, like
wrappers on a tarmac road or cement sidewalk, or stickers on a crate. I see
traces of Ndebele design, the sign of a fre hydrant, umbrella or warning that
this is fragile, but Im imagining things. Something else takes over when I
look again. I sense things changing, alchemically transforming, returning to
naught, and then reappearing as something new.
But I have taken up enough of your time. Let me conclude with a moving
passage on time and memory, which Ricky quoted to me over the telephone
and which seems completely apt in the context of these ruminations in paint
and time. It comes from the Spanish author Javier Marass novel Tomorrow
in the battle think on me. What a beautiful title this is and what a beautiful
passage:
So many things happen without anyone realizing or remembering. There
is almost no record of anything, feeting thoughts and actions, plans and
desires, secret doubts, fantasies, acts of cruelty and insults, words said and
heard and later denied or misunderstood or distorted, promises made and
then overlooked, even by those to whom they were made, everything is for-
gotten or invalidated, whatever is done alone or not written down, along with
everything that is done not alone but in company, how little remains of each
individual, how little trace remains of anything, and how much of that little
is never talked about and, afterwards, one remembers only a tiny fraction of
what was said, and then only briefy, the individual memory is not passed on
and is, anyway, of no interest to the person receiving it, who is busy forging
his or her own memories.
Indeed, how little of the individual remains and what an impact this makes,
once you realise the paradox of recording in paint, or in words, that which
must be lost even as it is remembered, in feeting fragments, tomorrow in the
battle in the studio or study, alone or in company.
Dr Gerhard Schoeman
Thinking in paint, thinking in the substance of time
is pleased to announce that
NICHOLAS PRINSLOO
has relocated to Cape Town and is
now painting exclusively for our gallery.
Nic paints in an impressionistic
style but what sets him apart is
his innovative use of multilayered
colouring and liberal use of paint to
achieve extremely richly textured
images very reminiscent of Adriaan
Boshoff but in a more contemporary
style. The result is work of amazing
vibrancy and depth bringing a unique
dimension to his wide variety of subject
matter. Nic is also available to do
commissions of any subject matter.

BUSINESS ART
The Huffngton Post | By Kate Abbey-Lambertz
In Detroit, a city on the brink of bankruptcy, any
money-making idea is considered, no matter how
wild. Thats why the seeming unlikely possibility
of selling off Renoirs, van Goghs and other prized
works from the collection of the world-class Detroit
Institute of Arts in order to make some quick cash
isnt dismissed. Instead, over the last day, its been
discussed, decried and determined by some to be
not such a bad idea, though the museum argues that
it cant and wont sell off its artworks.
A spokesman for Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr,
who was appointed to run the city by the governor
this year in the midst of a severe fnancial emer-
gency, told the Detroit Free Press Thursday the
DIA must be considered as one of the citys assets.
Spokesman Bill Nowling said some creditors had
already asked if the collection was on the bargaining
table.
The creditors can really force the issue, Nowling
told the paper. If you go into court, they can object
and say, Hey, Im taking a huge haircut, and youve
got a billion dollars worth of art sitting over there.
Though there arent existing plans to start selling off
paintings, WXYZ reports Orr is having DIA works
appraised in addition to other assets in the city.
While there is no plan to sell any assets, it is pos-
sible that the citys creditors could demand the city
use its assets to settle its debts, read a statement
released by Nowling. The emergency manager has
alerted certain assets, including the DIA, that they
might face exposure to creditors should the city be
forced to seek Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection. This
is a precautionary measure.
The museum has been run by a nonproft authority
for the last 15 years, but the city owns the building
and collection. If an art sale became a reality, the
museums reputation would be compromised, likely
hindering its ability to collect, host lauded traveling
exhibitions or fundraise. It could also be subject to
lawsuits from art donors. According to the Detroit
News, the DIA hired a lawyer for counsel on how
best to protect the collection. In a statement Friday,
the museum said it cannot sell art under standards
required by the public trust:
The DIA strongly believes that the museum and the
City hold the museums art collection in trust for the
public. The DIA manages and cares for that collec-
tion according to exacting standards required by the
public trust, our profession and the Operating Agree-
ment with the City. According to those standards, the
City cannot sell art to generate funds for any purpose
other than to enhance the collection. We remain
confdent that the City and the emergency fnancial
manager will continue to support the museum in
its compliance with those standards, and together
we will continue to preserve and protect the cultural
heritage of Detroit.
The museums post on Facebook had more than
1,700 likes and 100 comments in an hour, with many
outraged at the idea of selling the citys art.
This proposal to sell the collection at the DIA is an
attempt to vaporize our heritage, dissolve our legacy
and liquidate our inheritance. It is short-sighted and
shameful. It is an affront to the founders, the donors
and the estates of the ancestors who built the collec-
tion, wrote commenter Ka Fields.
Part of the indignation appears to stem from a feeling
that its not just Detroits treasure to give away. Last
year, residents of the metro areas Wayne, Macomb
and Oakland Counties voted in favor of a 10-year
tax millage expected to raise $23 million after the
museum said it was in danger of making cuts to staff
and open hours without dollars from its suburban
neighbors. Now, the museum is free to residents of
all three counties.
Similar sentiments prevailed on Twitter, though there
were others who thought it wasnt the worst plan
Detroits had yet. Story continues below.
In a mandated report to Michigans Department of
Treasury earlier this month, Orr found the city to be
more than $14 billion in debt with a budget defcit
that could top $380 million by July.
According to Crains Detroit Business, a 2004 report
put the collections worth at over $1 billion. At the
request of the Free Press, art dealers estimated
the value of 38 signifcant pieces from the DIAs
collection at $2.5 billion, with the caveat that, as
works of this esteem dont often come up for sale, its
educated guessing.
While those masterpieces include works by the
likes of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Henri Matisse,
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, Albrecht Drer,
Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso and thousands more
spanning millennia, perhaps most iconic for the mu-
seum are the Detroit Industry frescoes that adorn
the Rivera Court. Celebrating the citys workers and
history of manufacturing, Diego Riveras murals are
literally part of the walls, and as fundamental to the
museum as many seem to think the museum is to
the city.

Enid Tsui: South China Morning Post. Hotel art fairs
are the antithesis of the white cube concept for a
gallery space, and some consider it decidedly un-
fashionable. But proponents see it as a convenient
and cost-effcient model.
Organisers of the Asia Contemporary Art Show, the
Hong Kong Contemporary (HKC) Art Fair and Bank
Art Fair all cite the advantage of having the same
room used as exhibition space and accommoda-
tion for visiting gallery owners and artists. It can
almost halve the cost for our overseas visitors, says
Roger Lim of HKC. Finding the right hotel isnt easy,
with some managers opposed to hosting art fairs
on their properties. After all, removing furniture to
make space for art and the subsequent tidying up is
daunting. Someone booking dozens of rooms also
expects a big discount, organisers say, which also
puts off some hotel chains.
But Mark Saunderson of the Asia Contemporary
show says he has found some hotels that love the
idea of a block sale of, in his case, four foors, twice
a year. Its all down to the general manager. We
were at the Grand Hyatt last year and would happily
have returned, except the hotel is being renovated
in phases. [Its] manager, Gordon Fuller, is an art col-
lector himself and that makes a difference, he says.
Generally, supporters of hotel art fairs value the ease
of access and the level of service provided by pro-
fessionally trained staff. Lim also fnds hotel rooms
better for showing prospective buyers what a work of
art would look like when its hanging on the wall.
Alternative venues are also hard to fnd. Link Artfair
founder Tiziana Manca - who prefers wide, open
spaces where adults and children can run freely -
says it took her two years to fnd the right space (she
is hosting the event on the waterfront in Kennedy
Town this year).
Art fair experts share why hotels make good gallery spaces

STRUASS & CO. JOHANNESBURG SALE | BUSINESS ART
By Michael Coulson
Though most of the high estimate lots sold near the lower end of their range,
solid prices overall and a good sell-through rate combined to generate an
excellent return at Strauss & Cos Joburg auction this week. This restored
the trend of this years sales grossing more than the equivalent in 2012, with
a big increase in auction room turnover so far this year.
And again the preference for quality was manifest: in the afternoon session,
a respectable 146 of the 199 lots sold (73.4%), for a gross of just over R6.7m
(low estimate just under R5.7m), But the rate in the evening was even bet-
ter: 92 of 114 lots (80.7%), for R40.0m (low estimate R34.0m), making a total
of 238 of 313 lots (76.0%) for R46.7m (low estimate R39.7m).
The total from Strausss frst Joburg sale last year was R38.0m.
Almost halfway through the year, this brings the gross for the frst fve auc-
tions to R164.3m, against R119.5m at this stage of 2012. Strausss market
share has eased slightly to 52.0% (53.9%) and Stephan Welz & Cos to 9.4%
(10.6%), while Bonhams has gained ground, to 38.7% (35.4%). The overall
gain in turnover is over 37%, confrming that art is still gaining ground as an
investment medium.
A couple of Adriaan Boshoff oils topped the afternoon list, at R318 000 (esti-
mate R200 000-R300 000) and R205 000 (est R100 000-R150 000), though
the best against estimate was Cyprian Shilakoes teak sculpture Young Boy,
at R193 000 (est R18 000-R24 000).
All but one of the fve seven-digit estimates sold in the evening, the exception
being Alexis Prellers Gold Temple of the Sun, detailed opposite the contents
page. A Pierneef landscape fetched R5.9m (estimate R5m-R7m), a William
Kentridge nude drawing R1.6m (est R1m-R1.5m), another Kentridge drawing
R1.25m (Rhino, the inside back cover, est R1.2m-R1.6m) and an Irma Stern
still life R1.1m (est R1m-R1.5m), while Tretchikoffs Dying Swan (R1.1m, est
R800 000) and Cecil Skotnes triptych The Last Supper (R1.8m, est R300
000-R400 000) also topped R1m.
The last-mentioned, previously at the Santa Sophia chapel in Pretoria, was
sold by the Institute for Catholic Education. The private buyer intends to
restore it and make it available to an as yet unnamed public museum.
Other sales of lots with a low estimate of R700 000 were another Pierneef
(R773 000), a Walter Battiss landscape (R796 000) and Tretchikoffs Chinese
Girl (R966 000); of those on R600 000, a Maud Sumner landscape fetched
R625 000, yet other Pierneefs R796 000, and R8530 000 and two Prellers
R966 000 (the cover lot) and R853 000. Two other good results were R818
000 for Alfred Thobas oil Fruits of Life (est R150 000-R250 000) and a Doug-
las Portway abstract at R364 000 (est R80 000-R120 000).
Other featured lots were Gwelo Goodmans oil Hermanus, R591 000 (est
R400 000-R600 000, inside front cover), a Frans Oerder still life, R796 000
(est also R400 000-R600 000, the frontispiece), a Freida Lock still life, R455
000 (est R200 000-R300 000, frontispiece to the evening session) and
Sydney Kumalos bronze Wise Man R512 000 (est R200 000-R300 000, the
back cover).
Of the most represented artists, 16 of 19 Battisses sold, 11 of 14 Pierneefs,
all nine Sumners, six of nine Kentridges, fve of seven Titta Fasciottis, four of
seven Piet van Heerdens, all six Robert Hodgins, four of six Carl Buchners,
and three of six each by Erik Laubscher and Lucky Sibiya.
Excellent return for Strauss & Co. Johannesburg sale
Published on Beeld.com translated
According to the Beeld, the sale of a triptych
The Last Supper by the legendary Cecil Skotnes,
painted in 1990 will be auctioned by Strauss & Co
in Johannesburg on Monday 20 May
This has indeed caused unease with Pippa
Skotnes, Professor at Michaelis School of Art and
daughter of the Artist. Pippa does not approve of
this work to be sold. This majestic three paneled
piece was completed for Santa Sophia, Institute
for Catholic Education in Pretoria.
Pippa expresses her unhappiness as the piece
was a gift to the Church. Although she cant
prevent the sale to proceed she sees this as un-
fortunate that a private institution can proft from
something that was suppose to bring enjoyment
to all who visit the Church.
The triptych was recently removed from Santa
Sophia when ICE decided to sell this Waterkloof
property.
Iian Schwarer, chairman of ICE said the Institute
decided to sell the building to the Roman Catholic
Archdiocese of Pretoria and after consideration
the choice was rather to sell this piece instead of
leaving it at Santa Sophia
Since the 1940s, Skotnes always dreamt of
creating a large version of The Last Supper, said
Pretoria Art Historian Frieda Harmsen. When my
husband and I suggested the wall in the dining
room of Santa Sophia, Skotnes was immediately
inspired and in 1989 permission was granted to
complete this piece.
This enormous piece done in acrylic and pigment
comprises of three panels of which the two side
panels are beautifully engraved. Each measures
at 182x202cm. The central panel depicts the
fgure of Christ with Judas and Johannes on
either side. Judas is depicted with a black halo.
As Harmsen added he already had the idea of
betraying Christ
Skotness executed this work with immense pas-
sion as this was something he dreamt of doing
for many years. Harmsen describes this work as
a very important Skotnes, a piece very close to
his heart.
Harmsen said that although the selling price
indicated in the auction catalogue is between
R300 000 to R400 000, she feels that the work
may be hard to sell as there is very little interest
in religious art. Schwarer said ICE will utilize the
proceeds to fund postgraduate study.
Stephen Welz, managing director of Strauss &
Co said he understands and respects how Pippa
Skotnes is feeling regarding this matter. He added
that one must keep in mind that the Roman
Catholic Church in South Africa has poor record
when it comes to the maintaining of art work and
moreover would the Skotnes piece not be acces-
sible to the public at Santa Sophia.
According to Monsignor Marc de Muelanaere of
the Archdiocese, the future plan is to utilize Santa
Sophia as a monastery and training centre.
Sale of donated Skotness The Last Supper, upsets artists daughter
BUSINESS ART | STEPHAN WELZ & CO. JOHANNESBURG SALE
By Michael Coulson
A R3m-plus sale of the frst Chagall seen in an SA sale room for many years,
and yet another high-priced Tretchikoff, rescued an otherwise mediocre
auction of SA art at Stephan Welz & Co in Johannesburg last week.
Weakness was particularly apparent at the top end, only four of the 14
highest estimate lots (low estimates starting at R200 000 and upwards)
of SA art fnding buyers.
Tretchikoffs Fruit Seller, estimated at R800 000-R1.2m, was the only
seven-digit lot, bid up to R1.736m. Anton van Wouws bronze Kruger in
Ballingschap (est R400 000-R600 000) fetched R440 000, a Walter Battiss
landscape R291 000 (est R180 000-R240 000) and Johannes Meintjies
Plaasseun R202 000 (est R200 000-R300 000). The only other noteworthy
price was R179 000 for a Sidney Kumalo bronze Dancing Figure
(est R100 000-R120 000).
The afternoon session of minor work started reasonably well, 56 of the
74 lots selling for a gross (including buyers premium, where applicable)
of about R530 000 (low estimate R442 000). But only 23 of the 48 works
on paper sold, for about R316 000 (low est R958 000), just four of 16 in
the contemporary section, for about R220 000 (low est R1.21m), eight of
10 sculptures (the most successful category) for R740 000 (low est about
R647 000) and 59 of 101 in the main session, for about R4.59m (low est
about R9.96m). Overall totals were 150 of 249 lots sold (60%) for just under
R6.4m, 48% of the low estimate of about R13.2m.
Of the most represented artists, nine of 10 Pierneefs sold (but not the only
signifcant oil), all eight Christiaan Nices, four of eight Gregoire Boonzaaiers,
three of seven W H Coetzers, all six Claudette Schreuders, four of six Hugo
Naudes, four of fve Erich Mayers, two of fve Robert Hodgins and one of fve
Norman Catherines.
This is the most disappointing result of a sale of SA art in six months, and
one can but hope that it is a temporary setback in what was becoming a
useful bull market.

Tretchikoffs Fruit Seller, estimated at
R800 000-R1.2m sold for R1.736m

New Era For Art Markets As Collectors Drop Half
A Billion At Christies Contemporary Sale
www.forbes.com. It seems that its not just the stock
market that is fring on all cylinders, breaking record
after record. Last week, Christies marquee post-War
and contemporary art sale fetched a record $495 mil-
lion, with more than nine works selling for over $10
million. Amid a stagnating global economy and high
unemployment, the ultra-rich are raising the stakes
on so-called alternative investments like art and real
estate, prompting a prominent Christies executive to
speak of a new era in the market.
Top Hedge Fund Manager Predicts A Collapse In
The Art Market
www.businessinsider.com. Sam Ro : Michael
Novogratz, the head of Fortress Investment Group,
appeared on CNBC yesterday.Among other things,
he talked about what he considered to be an ongoing
bubble in art.Art is 100 percent a bubbleI mean it
has all the markings for a bubble, said Novogratz.
Prices have gone parabolic. You go to any of the art
shows and you know even the cheap stuff that was
$10,000 two years ago is now $80,000.Novogratz
and the CNBC crew were responding to a story on
the recent Sothebys auction where Barnett New-
mans Onement VI sold for a stagger $43.8 million.
Chinas new wealth moves art markets
www.bdlive.co.za BY Rene Vollgraaf. Beijing has a
25% slice of the international pie.China does not only
affect South African commodity prices and fast-food
habits, it also has an effect on the South African art
market.The Citadel Art Price Index out this week
showed a 5.3% frst-quarter drop. Citadel investment
strategist George Herman thinks it no coincidence
that Chinas equity market also weakened during
the quarter. One of the biggest factors affecting art
prices across the world, and also in South Africa, is
what happens in China, Herman said recently.The
Chinese stock market is one of the few negative
stock markets we currently have for 2013, and
that is refected in art prices.Speaking at Unisas
department of economics this week, Stephan Welz,
MD of auction house Straus & Co, said the global art
market was worth about 43bn (R520bn) last year
7% down on 2011, largely due to China.The US
still had the largest share of the global art market
at 14.2bn (33%), followed by China with 10.6bn
(25%). South Africa does not make up half a percent
of the global art market, Mr Welz said.
Collector says Sothebys sold him Nazi-owned
artnow its unsellable
www.theartnewspaper.com. Uncertainty over whether
the work, once owned by Goering, was looted means
that auction houses dont want to put it on the block.
By Laura Gilbert. There are gaps in the history of
Van Loos Allegorical Portrait of a Lady as Diana
Wounded by Cupid . A collector of Old Masters says
that a painting he bought from Sothebys in 2004 is
now worthless because it was once owned by the
war criminal Hermann Goering and might have been
looted by the Nazis, according to a lawsuit fled in
California on 21 March.
The Goering connection came to light in 2010, when
Steven Brooks, the owner of the painting, sought to
sell it at Christies. The auction houses specialists
found that Goering had bought the work in 1939.
Christies refused to auction the work and, the
complaint alleges, Sothebys will neither auction it
nor refund Brookss money.
Bonhams face competition from Artnet Auctions
www.telegraph.co.uk. Artnet Auctions will hold an
African art sale this week to coincide with Bonhams,
says Colin Gleadell.
Bonhams, which launched its contemporary African
art sales in 2009, has been the only international
auction house to hold specialised sales since then,
but now has a rival online, namely Artnet Auctions,
which stages a specialised sale this week to coincide
with Bonhams sale on Wednesday. The Bonhams
sale is estimated at 500,000 to 800,000. Artnets
sale is much smaller, but valued at 378,000 to
618,000. Less traditional in content, it includes
works by international stars Chris Ofli and the US-
based Wangechi Mutu. Its London co-ordinator is
Ben Hanly, formerly a specialist in contemporary art
at Lyon & Turnbull in Scotland.

How prevalent is money laundering in the art world?
www.theartnewspaper.com. Federal raid on the Helly
Nahmad Gallery in New York and a new book by a
Brazilian judge point to a big problem By Charlotte
Burns and Melanie Gerlis: Aprils federal charges
against the New York dealer Helly Nahmad included
that he worked to launder tens of millions of dollars
on behalf of the illegal gambling business. While
Nahmad has pleaded not guilty to all the charges in
the indictment, the accusation raises the questions
of whether (and if so why) art would be used in
this way. Money laundering in the art world should
be considered a big problem, says Judge Fausto
Martin De Sanctis, a federal judge who is releasing a
book on the subject this month. In Money Launder-
ing through Art: a Criminal Justice Perspective, he
argues that international justice systems, regulatory
bodies and police forces are inadequately equipped
to detect and investigate such criminal activity. Pro-
ceeds from various crimes can be easily laundered
through the purchase of works of art thanks to a big
loopholea lack of awareness and regulation, he
says.

Undoubtedly the seasons hottest ticket, if you can excuse the pun, is the
British Museums ground-breaking exhibition, Life and Death in Pompeii
and Herculaneum, which runs throughout the summer until 29 September.
It features an unprecedented array of works from the National Archaeological
Museum in Naples, allowing many of these objects to be seen outside Italy
for the frst time.
And if Herculaneum is not a place name familiar to you, you will learn that
this smaller seaside town north of Pompeii and closer to Naples, was frst to
be buried under the ashes and excavations there have not been as exten-
sive. Because of the way Vesuvius exploded, the two cities suffered different
fates. In Herculaneum the heat was so intense it carbonised everything
instantly, leaving objects such as a wooden table intact, while from Pompeii
the grim casts of people in their death throes lends a sombre tone to this
fascinating exhibition.
The British Museum takes as its focal point a Roman home of the time, laid
out with everyday objects in the different rooms, from a stamped loaf of
bread and a contraption in which one could fatten dormice in the kitchen to
a babys cradle in the bedroom. The most magnifcent of the many frescoes
on display are the three that form the garden alcove, from the House of the
Golden Bracelet in Pompeii. In endless shades of green, we can decipher a
host of birds and plants in gardens both wild and structured.
The status of women is highlighted by works such as the wall painting show-
ing the baker Terentius Neo and his wife posing as equal business partners,
or the life-sized statue of Eumachia, one of the richest people in the city, who
erected the largest building in the forum.
The statue of a head with a disjointed penis attached at an appropriate
height on its plinth (known as a herm) is a reminder that the sexual taboos
of today were not in place. Whether it is a marble statues of Hercules so
drunk he is unable to pee, the god Pan in the act with a she-goat or a fresco
of a slave looking on while her owners make love, sex is an integral part of
Roman life.
Taking inspiration from the hugely successful live screenings of staged pro-
ductions of opera, theatre and ballet, the museum presents a live broadcast
in June, where the curator and other experts take the viewer on a tour of the
exhibition. The screening is planned to be shown abroad as well during the
summer, but details have yet to be released.
A splendid loan of English silver from the Kremlin vaults forms the hub of
what should be a more spectacular exhibition than it is at the
Victoria and Albert Museum. Great craftsmanship from the 1600s, which
would have been melted down for Cromwells army, survived only because
it was given as part of diplomatic exchanges between Englands royalty
and Moscow. Treasures of the Royal Courts: Tudors, Stuarts and the
Russian Tsars (until 14 July) has some exquisite pieces at its heart, but an
awkward display dissipates much of its impact. It opens grandly with four
enormous mythical creatures, the Dacre beasts, hewn from a single oak
in Cumbria in 1507, including the original red bull and a crowned dolphin.
There are impressive pieces on display throughout: armour showing Henry
VIIIs ample girth, jewels such as Drakes Armada brooch, cameos and
painted miniatures, as well as large period portraits. The Kremlin silverware
is not given suffcient viewing space, so it is diffcult to admire properly.
There is also little of the Russian Tsars, besides their English presents and
a portrait of the frst Romanov tsar. I cant be the only visitor disappointed to
fnd that, despite the title, instead of presenting both sides of 500 years of
diplomatic trading, the show is simply an opportunity for the V&A to display
its Tudor and Stuart treasures.
A strange collection entitled Souzou: Outsider Art from Japan at the
Wellcome Collection (until 30 June) raises the age-old question of what ex-
actly art is. Used as a tool for self-expression by untaught artists diagnosed
with various mental or behavioural illnesses, it has been closely aligned with
social care in Japan since the start of their welfare system after the war. The
word souzou means both creation and imagination, and the work of these 46
artists certainly reveals oodles of that. While much of it is interesting perhaps
from a psychiatric angle, it looks like a random selection from the school-
room. The theme of primitive art, often with crude and repetitive fgures, runs
throughout. Particularly the fnal selection though, shows a startling fnesse,
which elevates it to another level: the fne needlework cubes by Toya Hagino,
the sheer scale and detail of Norimitsu Kokubos ongoing cityscapes and
Shinichi Sawadas spiky ceramic demons, which will be displayed at the
Venice Biennale this year. Marie Suzukis bright colours, obsessive circles,
endless eyes and repetitive patterns reminded me strongly of Yayoi Kusa-
mas work, another inhabitant of a Japanese institution.
The Tate Modern, no doubt thanks to their German director, never contents
itself simply with crowd-pleasers, but over the years has steadily introduced
the British public to new names. One of these is the Lebanese artist
Saloua Raouda Choucair (until 20 October). Now 97 and living in Beirut,
she spent her early years in Paris under the tutelage of Ferdinand Leger.
Back home, she was a lone voice using abstraction and although her art has
a distinctively Islamic feel to it, it has echoes of other Western artists such as
Naum Gabo and Barbara Hepworth. This is Choucairs frst major museum
showing and combines painting and sculpture from the Fifties to the Eighties,
often small maquettes which she hoped would lead to public commissions.
Although the large section of mobiles feels very much of a period, it is in
the interlocking sculptures, small and large, stone and wooden, that the
artist brings her unique vision to the fore, combining eastern and western
aesthetic.

The 2011 Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum Biennial Award winner,
Ethna Frankenfeld, is acknowledged as a signifcant artistic presence, in Port
Elizabeth, and beyond. Her work is held in the permanent collection of the
Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum, and in signifcant public collec-
tions elsewhere in the country. As an artist-teacher, she has had a positive
infuence on the creative development of scores of students over the years.
Having spent many of those years working with Frankenfeld as an academic
colleague, when asked to write this catalogue introduction to her work I felt
the need to re-experience and re-engage with Frankenfeld the artist, the
master print maker and the enigmatic image-maker. I arranged to spend
time shadowing her in her studio, as she refected on her approaches to the
business of making art, on the teachers who infuenced her, and on how her
work has evolved over time.
Arranged in front of us, on the counter surfaces of her almost clinical,
meticulously kept studio, a range of work dating back to her student days in
the 1970s; not as accurate a record of her output as it should be, because
Frankenfeld (by her own admission), adopted a cavalier approach to the
preservation and cataloguing of her own work over the years (We have a
mutual acquaintance with a framed line drawing in pride of place, a drawing
that she fshed out of a bin in the senior art studios many years ago, Frank-
enfeld having discarded it because it failed to retain her interest once it was
completed).
The early works we look at show the direct infuence of her frst mentors,
Alexander Podlashuc and Robert Brooks. She refects on Pod the ironic
visual narrator, willful, obsessively, providing the guidelines to his students
to help them to draft and structure the visual world as he saw it, determined
they should view it through the lenses through which he viewed it. Brooks on
the other hand, doggedly resisting providing answers, shapeshifting, requir-
ing of his students that they engage with their inner worlds, that they explore
the hedonistic world around them and that they make sense of artmaking for
themselves. His disclaimer: that he didnt know enough, that they needed
to live, to look up, to research, to experience and to fnd their own ways - a
canny kind of teaching by not providing ready answers, but effective, as
Frankenfeld recalls.
Arguably her methodology as artist and as teacher developed during those
early student years: live, play, observe, experiment, think, synthesize, refect,
make, draft and craft meticulously, present immaculately, critique directly,
then move on briskly
With her portfolio spread out in front of us, I am struck by the high levels of
artisanal and technical prowess she attained over the years of engaging and
playing with the printmaking medium, the high level of crafting expertise that
resides within her.
But more so, when paging through the visual narrative spanning the years,
I am struck by how one can read and trace the recurrent themes and preoc-
cupations that emerge early and develop as her creative voice strengthens
and becomes louder and more attuned over time.
So the apparently halcyon scene with anxiety nipping around its edges
appears early in her production, as do the seminal role players: the iconic
Madonna / temptress female fgure in the foreground of the images, heavy
with sensuality; the ever more overtly phallic presence of the unidentifed and
unidentifable male, and, more and more noticeable as her work develops,
the shadowy dppelganger fgure [the observer, the harbinger, the foreshad-
ower, the conscience, the presence of the past in the present].
Frankenfeld herself acknowledges her own interest in uneasy juxtapositions,
in disjoints, in contradictions; her images speak of sensuous enjoyment, of
sexual adventure, of pride and lust; of taboos and dangerous encounters; in
her more recent works there is a growing sense of foreboding, an awareness
of life and death and of loss.
It is by now an overworked truism when one writes that an artist is dealing
with issues of their own autobiography and identity. I suppose most artists
do, but not all of them seem willing to apply such an un-mawkish and self-
scrutinizing gaze as they embrace / interrogate / be-mourn their own lives,
and the lives of those closest to them in their work.
Frankenfeld lays no claim to being an interlocutor, makes no attempt to help
others to understand the world better. Never one for putting the word before
the image, she resists providing deep and philosophical introductions to her
work, she provides no instructions on how to receive it, rather, she chooses
to leave the images to make their own way into the world and leaves the
viewer to make sense of them as he or she chooses.
For me, as a returning tourist into the world of her art, as an information
gatherer, an interrogator, as a nosy guest in her studio, Frankenfelds works
resonate like the text of a novel, like the words of a poem by Antjie Krog.
They speak of dualism; part night, sin, death and darkness, part light, love
and lust for life; and they speak volumes about the power of art to act as an
ongoing means of negotiating (and escaping) the realities of the misshapen
world around us.

MINIATURE ART
Anthony Harris, curator
By Nina Allchurch
ART Gallery Owner, Curator and Fine Artist, Anthony Harris conceptualised a
frst of a kind national cross-disciplinary contemporary art exhibition, entitled
Modern Miniatures, to show in Nelson Mandela Bay from 28 May to 15 June,
then moving to Trinity Hall, Grahamstown from 27 June to 7 July 2013 at
the National Arts Festival. There has been an overwhelming response from
around 300 leading fne artists, ceramicists, photographers and sculptors
nationwide who are keen to participate in this exhibition selected by Profes-
sor Greg Kerr and NMMUs HOD Music, Art & Design, David Jones, Anthony
Harris said. Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University School of Music Art and
Design sponsored the exhibition and BASA gave a supporting grant.
Miniature art is a uniquely novel and highly collectible art form based on
a minute scale, which traces its roots back to the book paintings and il-
luminated manuscripts of the 7th century. Humans fascination with creating
in small scale is evident in many of the worlds civilisations. Ancient Greeks
adorned their walls with small murals, while coins and rings bore engraved
portraits. In the Middle Ages, monks often embellished manuscript pages
with delicate illuminations and bordered them with a red lead pigment and
minimum from which miniature later evolved. Elizabethan England was noted
for its miniature portraits on vellum, and later ivory, which served much as
small photographs do today, adorning mantelpieces, side tables and memory
and decorative objet dart.
Leading SA artists entering work for
the exhibition include contemporary
artists Sandra Hanekom, Clare Menck,
Zack Taljaard, Anton Brink, Lydia Hol-
mes, Dolla Sapeta and Anton Momb-
erg to name but a few luminaries.
Miniature Art today embraces a wide
spectrum of subject matter, media

From a fascination with the sacred na-
ture of Nguni bulls in traditional South
African culture which gave rise to
the Nguni series; then to the detailed
sacramental elaboration and self-right-
eous reverence of papal vestments in
his Pope series, now Greg Kerr fnds
himself infatuated with Portraits. I
want people to recognise the subject,
but to enjoy the nimble slippage of oil
in my Greg Kerr thumbprint.
Greg Kerr describes himself as a
lapsed academic, infatuated with the
stink of oil and the pleasures of the
aesthetic fesh. Greg runs workshops
for non-institutional professional artists
to immerse his students in a process
of research, reading, discussion and
practise. Greg mentors his students to
each develop a series of competent oil
paintings, readying them for confdent
solo exhibitions as professional artists.
Dont miss the consummate profes-
sional Greg Kerrs Fine Art Exhibition
showing at Walker Digital, Bridge
Street, Nelson Mandela Bay from
20 June 31 July.

Visual Poetry : Patterned Ceramics
Ceramics SA - Eastern Cape
By Nina Allchurch
Patterns have been used since ancient times to decorate dwellings, func-
tional items, determine routes, make clothes and mark surfaces. Patterns ap-
pear in the microscopic world, out in nature and as far away as outer space.
Graphic patterns may well be designed by humans, but they will always draw
on original natural infuences.
Ceramics SA - Eastern Cape has prompted local Nelson Mandela Bay ce-
ramicists to set their imaginations in fight, by searching for patterns around
them, and converting them into their own formal design concepts, taking key
elements of shape, form, line, value, texture, and color, as well as the princi-
ples of repetition, rhythm, balance, proportion, and variety into consideration.
colour * line * large * small * detailed * simple * complex
* black * white * faint * bold * raised * incised * tetraskel-
ion* sunburst* polygraph*mihrab* linocut* decal* tattoo

For the National Arts Festival Nelson Mandela Bay Fringe Programme,
Ceramics SA EC presents dot dot squiggle dash, an exhibition of contem-
porary ceramics presented by Lydia Holmes of Ceramics Southern Africa
Eastern Cape, and curated by Margi Higgs. This exhibition at
ART GALLERY, 51b Cuyler Street Central Port Elizabeth launches at 17:30
21 June and runs until 23 July 2013. This showcase of top Eastern Cape
ceramicists and artists, alumni and students of Nelson Mandela Metropolitan
University delights in patterned surface in contemporary ceramics.
Capetonian Christina Bryer as guest exhibitor, fnds her inspiration in the sa-
cred geometric patterning of aperiodic tiles and Fibonacci sequences. Bryer
delights in refned technicality, and showcases her specialist fne porcelain
slip in delicate mandala and ceramic stack designs. Also look out for accom-
plished works of Nelson Mandela Bay fellows of the Ceramics Association of
South Africa, Donve Branch, Linley Watson, and Charmaine Haines.
Christina Bryer is running a public workshop on Saturday 22 June 2013 at

ART WITH HEART
IN NELSON MANDELA BAY
artEC ART GALLERY & TRAINING CENTRE
As you meander along the Belmont Terrace - Bird Street art precinct in
Central, Port Elizabeth, you cant miss the bright red faade and magical
mural of smiling local faces welcoming you to artEC gallery, coffee shop &
training centre. This is the heart of Nelson Mandela Bays community training
and mentoring facilities for emerging artists across a number of disciplines,
supported by veteran artists, academics, and art administrators who love
giving back.
artEC forms an integral part of Route 67 Arts Journey: their mural and
sculpture garden are two of the 67 MBDA-commissioned Route 67 public
artworks. Developments are ongoing under the auspices of the MBDA and
Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality to inject new life into the historic heart
of Port Elizabeth through additional heritage building restoration, public
artworks and infrastructure rollout boosting visual and performing arts. Visit
artEC this festival for their 94th Annual Exhibition.
ARTWORKS FOR YOUTH
Art Education & Expression
Head of Artworks for Youth, John Lombardo, has turned an educational
and cultural exchange programme between schools in his hometown New
York and Nelson Mandela Bay township schools into a fulltime year round
programme providing free visual art instruction, mentoring, and academic
support to over 1000 under-served students. Classes for students in Joe
Slovo township include photography, collage, painting & drawing, sewing,
knitting, beadwork and clay. Through art, kids tackle issues that have a bear-
ing on their life.
Over the National Arts Festival, facilitated by Ceramics SA-EC sponsored
by the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, John, along with ceramists
will help students produce their own completed life story animation scripts
featuring hand crafted ceramic fgures made by the kids laid onto backdrops
of their community, to tell their own personal heartbreaking stories of how
unhappy they are at school due to poor teaching, under nourishment and
punishment at school. John will cut the videos which will run at ART Gallery,
Cuyler Street at the dot dot squiggle dash exhibition during the festival.
Lombardo has a creative fundraising model, which is an annual Art Auction
in New York of incredible fne art pieces donated by top South African artists
with heart, such as David Goldblatt, Sue Hoppe, Donve Branch, Mkonto
Gwazela and Lydia Holmes. In 2014 Lombardos vision is to invite adult
artists to create portraits of our special Nelson Mandela Bay children for auc-
tion, with the kids receiving their own prints too. If you are an artist and wish
to donate work, touch base with John. http://www.artworksforyouth.com/

A BRIGHT FUTURE
The Creative Collective of Nelson Mandela Bay is committed to sustaining
the momentum of positioning the Nelson Mandela Bay Arts Journey as a
viable economic vehicle for generating destination tourism and growth of the

ris. We are now looking for a national sponsor to support us to activate our
presence at a sustained regional, national and international level, to fy the
fag of SAs Creative Province The Eastern Cape.
The cohesion of the visual and performing arts collective has been enhanced
by massive investment by the MBDA and the Nelson Mandela Bay Munici-
pality to secure the cultural, heritage and artistic context in which visual and
performing arts thrive in Nelson Mandela Bay.
The Arts Journey is delighted to serve the tourism and aesthetic demands of
our 25% local, 50% national, and 25% international art buyer and collector
