R31,892,000 to be exact! The biggest news in the

R31,892,000 to be exact!

The biggest news in the South African art world right now is the auction of Vladimir Tretchikoff’s iconic Lady from the Orient painting, which sold for R31,892,000 last night at Strauss & Co’s auction held here in Joburg.

The sale marks a new world record for Russia-born South African painter who is most known for his signaure Technicolor palette. Lady from the Orient was crafted in 1955 and features the 21-year-old Valerie Howe, daughter of a Cape Town grocer. The painting forms part of iconic collection of images produced by the artist during the decade following his move to South Africa in 1946.

Lady of the Orient was sold to an anonymous telephone bidder after a dramatic number of 89 bids, narrowly beating an in-room contender at the live auction event.

The final price, inclusive of commission and taxes, comfortably eclipses the previous world record for a Tretchikoff work, set at £982 050 in March 2013 at a London auction for Chinese Girl (1952)

Further highlights at the auction include works by William Kentridge, George Pemba, JH Pierneef, Gerard Sekoto and Anton van Wouw, affirming robust interest in a cross-section of South African art.

Seasonality, locally-sourced produce and a sense o

Seasonality, locally-sourced produce and a sense of occasion come together for Dikeme Farm’s Brunch Club event, and the next one is happening on Saturday, 28 June. This farm-to-table dining experience offers amazing landscape views and the Magaliesburg Mountains on the horizon.

Diners can look forward to a lavish seasonal harvest table with champagne and Mimosas on arrival, freshly pressed juice, hot brunch dishes, cheese and fruit platters, breads with homemade dips, open sandwiches and more, all anchored in farm produce.

The mood here is intimate, with tables positioned under open skies with cosy touches like heated lamps and woven blankets.

The farm will add a new experience too. Guests can join for a guided 30-minute exploration of the farm’s orchards, vegetable garden, and hidden corners.

What happens if it rains? The dining event will then take place in the farm’s Rose glasshouse.

Space is limited. Click the link in our bio to book now.

Just in time for Youth Month is a powerful re-s

Just in time for Youth Month is a powerful re-staging of Mbongeni Ngema’s Sarafina!, running at Joburg theatre from 30 May to 15 June. Director Mpho Molepo is tasked with weaving together the story, stagecraft and a large cast for the 2025 season of this award-winning musical. Choreography is by the innovative Nompumelele Gumede-Ngema.

The new cast includes Noxolo Dlamini, who leads as Sarafina, and supporting roles by soulful singer Hlengiwe Pearl taking a star turn and the emerging actress Busisiwe Mhlanga, who looks set for big things.

The story unfolds in the wake of the historic events of 1976 against the backdrop of Morris Isaacson High School in Soweto, when approximately 200,000 Black students united in protest against the apartheid regime’s oppressive education system.

Today, countries all across the continent celebrat

Today, countries all across the continent celebrate Africa Day 2025, the official founding of the African Union on 25 May 1963. It’s observed as a day of reflection on the journey of the African continent towards unity, freedom, and development.

The 2025 edition of the RMB Latitudes Art Fair is a fine example of South Africans using our platform to drive growth and inclusive transformation among African countries. “This year’s theme of CO-PRODUCTION is a nod to the Fair’s central ethos of working collaboratively with and connecting all players in the art industry,” says Lucy MacGarry, co-founder and director of the art fair.

RMB Latitudes curated a special focus on the narratives of Botswana via its artists and galleries, as well as its relation to South Africa. It’s a sharp exhibition that brings together the country’s seasoned and emerging talent. There are also art contributions from Namibia, Nigeria and Zimbabwe, and make sure you see ESSAY, which focuses on the drawings and sculptures of South African artists Sydney Kumalo and Amalie von Maltitz.

Today is the final day of RMB Latitudes Art Fair, and tickets are unfortunately sold out. Read more in our link in bio!
