Notes:

Kudzanai Chiurai blends different media into his practice to explore questions of displacement, polarity and xenophobia, brought on by political, social, economic and cultural conflict in contemporary society.

These two paintings formed part of Chiurai’s 2011 solo exhibition State of the Nation at Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg. The show was split between two venues and featured photographic prints, drawings, large oil paintings, video, sound installation and performances with a focus on youth culture to proposes fresh ways of looking at the socio-politics of Africa today.

Chiurai currently works between Johannesburg and Harare. His work recently formed part of the internationally acclaimed exhibitions UBUNTU: A Lucid Dream at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and Allied with Power: African and African Diaspora Art from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection at the Pérez Art Museum Miami.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:


 

Logistics

While we endeavour to assist our Clients as much as possible, we require artwork(s) to be delivered and/or collected from our premises by the Client. In instances where a Client is unable to deliver or collect artwork(s), Aspire staff is available to assist in this process by outsourcing the services to one of our preferred Service Providers. The cost for this will be for the Client’s account, with an additional Handling Fee of 15% charged on top of the Service Provider’s invoice.

Aspire Art provides inter-company transfer services for its Clients between Johannesburg and Cape Town branches. These are based on the size of the artwork(s), and charged as follows:

Small (≤60x90x10 cm): R480

Medium (≤90x120x15 cm): R960

Large (≤120x150x20 cm): R1,440

Over-size: Special quote

Collection/delivery ≤20km: R400

Collection/delivery 20km>R800≤50km

Packaging

A flat fee of R100 will be added to the invoice for packaging of unframed works on paper.

 


International Collectors Shipping Package

For collectors based outside South Africa who purchase regularly from Aspire Art’s auctions in South Africa, it does not make sense to ship artworks individually or per auction and pay shipping every time you buy another work. Consequently, we have developed a special collectors’ shipping package to assist in reducing shipping costs and the constant demands of logistics arrangements.

For buyers from outside South Africa, we will keep the artworks you have purchased in storage during the year and then ship all the works you have acquired during the year together, so the shipping costs are reduced. At the end of the annual period, we will source various quotes to get you the best price, and ship all your artworks to your desired address at once.

Aspire Art will arrange suitable storage during, and cost-effective shipping at the end, of the annual period.

Collections are by appointment, with 24-hours’ notice

Clients are requested to contact the relevant office and inform Aspire Art of which artwork(s) they would like to collect, and allow a 24-hour window for Aspire Art’s logistics department to retrieve the artwork(s) and prepare them for collection.

 


Handling Fee
