17 - 29 July 2025

Our Winter '25 Collection: Across the Line draws together a bold and wide-ranging spectrum of artistic voices, practices, and periods. This all-encompassing collection highlights historic, modern, and contemporary works that explore, blur, and reimagine lines - between past and present, tradition and innovation, abstraction and figuration - highlighting how artists engage with material, method, and meaning in compelling and unexpected ways.

From painting and sculpture to drawings, editioned works and mixed media, the selection spans eras, aesthetics, and themes, offering a panoramic view of artistic expression.

Lines divide, but they also connect; they can mark thresholds or invite crossing. In this spirit, Across the Line celebrates artworks that ignite dialogue and collectors who embrace it. Whether you're a seasoned eye or just beginning your journey, this auction offers an opportunity to explore new possibilities and perspectives in art collecting.

Take the step. Cross the line. Collecting starts here.

Aspire Art is excited to announce the launch of its new dedicated Wine auction category, in proud partnership with Rueda Wine Co.

The Grand Pour: Rare & Premier Wines, showcased South Africa’s most celebrated “100-pointer” wines and cult labels, alongside top global icons with impeccable storage histories and collector-grade provenance.

DISCOVER:

This unique collection of paintings, sketchbooks, prints, inks and watercolours on paper, comes directly from Robert Hodgins’ studio at the home he shared with fellow artist Jan Neethling in Midrand.

Jan Neethling and Robert Hodgins were best friends and life companions and shared a home for nearly 15 years, where they exchanged creative ideas and supported one another’s artistic practices. The works on offer are from Jan’s personal collection and many were – at times – displayed in their home, while others remained in the studio Hodgins worked in, adjacent to the house.

A number of pivotal artworks, including the magnificent, Une Saison en Enfers (circa 2002), have never been shown publicly nor offered on the market. As a custodian of this unique collection Jan has cherished and held close Hodgins’ creations and shares them, with love…

The collection will be offered over 2 sessions; the first as part of the Modern & Contemporary Evening Sale in Johannesburg on 25 June and the second in an Online Auction running from 11 to 26 June.
