Strauss & co - Review 2021

Two School of Paris still lifes by Erik Laubscher commanded solid prices in October. The standout work was the recto- verso composition Still Life with Papaya/Still Life with Lemons , which sold for R1.4 million. Peter Clarke has a committed collector base and his prices have risen steadily in the years since his death in 2014. Painted in 1959, The Vendors is one of the most accomplished and significant oil paintings by this painter better known for his gouaches. Fittingly, it sold for R796 600.
