Ruarc Peffers, Managing Director and Senior Art Specialist at Aspire Art Auctions, discusses Gerard Sekoto’s Portrait of a young woman. This striking portrait is an accomplished study in oil paint. While fully frontal portraits are rare in Sekoto’s oeuvre, the work is a serious, yet compassionate characterisation of the sitter.
The featured artwork forms part of our upcoming Modern & Contemporary Art Auction. The virtual auction will take place from Johannesburg on 3 September 2020.
