7.30PM on TUESDAY 5 MARCH 2019 at The RADISSON BLU HOTEL, NAIROBI
This year, we were invited to hold the Modern and Contemporary Art
Auction East Africa 2019 in the lovely ballroom at the Radisson Blu
Hotel in Upper Hill, Nairobi.
With 59 Lots from seven countries, we auctioned some rare and exceptional sculptures this year; Lot 31 & 32 by the late master sculptor Samuel Wanjau; and stunning, well priced paintings dating from the 1960s to present. With an emphasis on modern and the secondary market, we were able to find some very unusual works, such as Lot 29, the Piano Player by Fabian Mpagi, and Lot 25 by the late Robin Anderson.
We welcomed KCB, Kenya’s largest bank, as our new partner, and new drinks sponsors, Glenfiddich whisky and Hendricks gin.
Auctioneer, Chilson Wamoja, who has assisted us at all our auctions took the sale this year.
