Strauss & co - 16 February 2019, Cape Town

11 Announcing Strauss & Co’s Bursary Recipients for 2018 ‘In February 2018, at Strauss & Co’s inaugural contemporary art auction, the company made a commitment to devote 20% of the net proceeds of this sale to an educational fund. The Strauss Bursary has been established to enable suitable candidates to pursue post-graduate studies in Art and/or Art History at a South African university. We are delighted to announce that two bursary recipients have been selected. Their names will be revealed at Strauss & Co’s second contemporary art auction in Cape Town on 16 February 2019. This is an important milestone for Strauss & Co and underscores the company’s on-going commitment to being a significant and pro-active contributor to the art ecosystem in South Africa. Being an active corporate citizen is integral to our business. Founded in 2009, Strauss & Co is the world’s leading auction house for South African art. Its Contemporary Art auction is the first of its kind in South Africa. In 2018 Strauss & Co received the discretionary Chairman’s Premier Award at the 21st BASA Awards in recognition of the company’s sustained and extraordinary commitment to the arts.’ Fine Art Auctioneers Consultants left Lot 50 Zander Blom Untitled 1.627 (detail)
