Strauss & co - 2016 Review

JH Pierneef Extensive Landscape in Pink, Orange and Rose Sold R704 816, 7 November 2016 Like Stern, JH Pierneef also has an established track record at auction. Bidding for his Extensive Landscape in Pink, Orange and Rose was robust at Strauss & Co’s November sale in Johannesburg. A harmonious symphony of complimentary colours, this gorgeous work sold for R704 816, doubling its high estimate. In May, an exemplary bushveld scene with bleached sky, Winter Bosveld , earned R1 818 880, well above its high estimate. Art specialist Wilhelm van Rensburg discusses JH Pierneef’s performance in greater detail on page 56. 22
