We’ve all gazed into a painting and got lost in it. With Walter Battiss, this can mean diving deep into the strange, strange world that the artist lived in. If you were me, you might even find yourself inventing a Fookian cuisine.
The covetable books, mostly grouped into bulk lots of up to 20, at rock-bottom estimates, are a dazzling collection that will appeal to art and book lovers alike. What other opportunity will there ever be to acquire a single lot of 8 collectable books on the work of iconic South African photographer David Goldblatt? or 11 books on British abstract modernist sculptor Sir Anthony Caro? or 9 seminal books of South African art market luminary William Kentridge? A few uncommon collectibles, such as
Hockney’s Alphabet (David Hockney and Stephen Spender, Faber & Faber, 1991) and
Battiss 75 (Murray Schoonraad and Pieter Duminy, D & S, 1981) are going on sale as stand-alone items, and a unique lot of 11 South African art books, signed by artists and authors including Cecily Sash, Alf Kumalo and Norman Catherine, is bound to attract energetic bidding during the week-long sale.
