Colin Gleadell sums up Bonhams South African sale which was a disappointment for any artist not named Irma Stern:
Bonhams’ latest sale of South African art, held in London last week, received something of a setback when only 154 out of 411 lots offered were sold. In its select evening sale of “Masterpieces”, where 20 lots were expected to fetch more than £5 million, only six works sold, to bring £1.9 million.
