RIGHT | Lot 33 |Lady Skollie | Hottentot Skollie | Estimate: ZAR: 40 000 - 60 000
Firm favourites are two captivating works by the dazzling Lady Skollie, the winner of the Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Visual Arts in 2022. Created in 2016, both works are poignant examples of art that considers the politics around gender and power structures in direct and thought-provoking ways. Hottentot Skollie references the history and social display of Saartjie Baartman and the effect of that history on the present day. The work was first exhibited in 2017 at the Investec Cape Town Art Fair. Seeing Shortcuts in the Phallic Landscape, a play between gender and the cityscape, was showcased in Lust Politics at Tyburn Gallery in London. The exhibition spoke to gender roles, objectification, taboos, power structures, greed and lust.
With 120 lots, this auction offers a collection of works that reflects on ‘the now’ from numerous perspectives and visual voices.
