The tower was conceived around 1919 by the Russian
artist and architect, and it is easy to see why Hobbs
is fixated with its design. It was a grand scheme

Stefan
Welz & Co. Jhb Sale: A downbeat end to the auction year
by Michael
Coulson : If
last week's Strauss & Co auction gave rise to hopes that
the SA art auction year would end on a high note, it was not
to be. This week's closing sale by Stephan Welz & Co, in
Joburg, started well, but tailed off badly, with only three
of the top 12 estimate lots selling. No sale can do well when
the top lots fall like this.
The Tuesday
afternoon session of minor work actually beat the low estimate,
helped by keen buying of two Pierneef graphics: a linocut estimated
at R8 000-R12 000 reached R56 000, and an etching, estimated
at R10 000-R15 000, R35 840. A Baldinelli mosaic diptych, Organic
Forms, estimated at R6 000-R9 000, fetched R47 040 and the total
for the session was just under R960 000, against the low estimate
of about R810 000 (as always, one must make the caveat that
sales are reported hammer-plus, estimates are hammer price only).
The mood
darkened with the early evening mini-session of contemporary
art, when 24 0f the 37 lots were either withdrawn or didn't
sell, including the evening's potential top lot, a William Kentridge
drawing estimated at R1.2m-R1.5m. Read

Matthew Partridge: With the prominent role that

SCMP:
There are many collectors of fine art but few have
made it into a profitable venture, writes Tiffany

it a good investment? Certainly the art world is
filled with stories of sharp-eyed collectors who
snapped up pieces from young, unknown artists only
