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.
