The Art Auction East Africa 2019
The Art Auction East Africa 2018 took place on 12 March 2018 at Den, dusitD2, 14 Riverside, off Riverside Drive, Nairobi.
This fifth edition of the auction continues to demonstrate the strength, diversity and resilience of the East African art market with total sales of over Ksh 21,000,000 and 81% of lots sold.
An annual Auction of Modern and Contemporary East African Art was launched in Kenya in 2013 to considerable public and media attention, locally and internationally. This is the first and remains the only commercial art auction in the region and has been hugely successful. Every year since its launch, sales have increased and the auction has been the most anticipated event in the Nairobi art calendar. The sale attracts both local and international art collectors with over 300 guests attending as well as telephone bidders from all over the world.
This year we are presenting 53 Lots from seven countries and to celebrate our 5th edition we are including for the first time artists from West Africa. We are showing a small collection of Nigerian Modern art including pieces by Twins Sevenseven and Bruce Onobrakpeya and a large painting by Ghanian, Ablade Glover, as well as excellent works by our bidders’ favourites — Peterson Kamwathi, Rashid Diab, Geoffrey Mukasa, Eli Kyeyune and Charles Sekano.
