We are delighted to announce a new partnership with Strauss & Co, South Africa, Africa’s leading Auction house, creating more awareness and expanding the secondary market for modern and contemporary art from East Africa.
The first sale under the new banner Art Auction East Africa | Strauss & Co will take place in Nairobi on 5 November 2025 and will comprise two parts: a live-virtual auction of important modern and contemporary art from East Africa and beyond, and a concurrent online-only sale dedicated to works on paper.
The 2025 edition of Art Auction East Africa | Strauss & Co will continue to prioritise rare, secondary-market works from the 1960s to 1990s, complemented by a curated selection of contemporary pieces. A preview exhibition will run from 27 October to 5 November 2025 at Circle Art Gallery.
