162 188 Robert Hodgins SOUTH AFRICAN 1920–2010 On the Ramp signed, dated 1996 and inscribed with the title on the reverse oil on canvas 121 by 90 cm R600 000 – 800 000 ITEM NOTES The painting was bought at a fund-raising gala dinner and auction at the Johannesburg Art Gallery in 1996. Prior to the event, several distinguished artists were paired with well-known fashion designers and the fashion was modeled on the ramp before the auction. Robert Hodgins was paired with Marianne Fassler. Her characteristically diaphanous dress has been freely interpreted in this painting.
