Recent auction sales in SA and the USA

If you own a work by Lucas Sithole which is not included on this website and you feel it merits to be considered, please send us full details with photographs suitable for reproduction. Your name will not be disclosed unless with your written permission, except for Corporate and University or Museum Collections.

Your collaboration is particularly useful as there have been various attempts since 2004 to offer by auction both in South Africa and abroad works wrongly attributed to the one and only Lucas T. Sithole. There have also been attempts to pass off some works as genuine works by Lucas Sithole which were painted on cloth and in fact done by other artists during the late 1950s (details on request). 

In order to keep our extensive research files on the late Lucas Sithole up-to-date, we would appreciate your advising us if you disposed of a work in the past. This is most important should there be a museum exhibition planned at some future date, so that new owners can be contacted for a loan of their sculpture. All such information will be kept confidential and only used for museum exhibition purposes.

Recent auction sales through Sotheby's, Bonham's and Other Auctioneers

Should you be the new owner of any of the other above listed works, please advise our office confidentially as under, so that our master register may be updated. This will make it easier for museums to draw in due course on works by the late Lucas SITHOLE for exhibition and catalogue purposes, and may well be in your own interest.

 

A few sculptures by Lucas Sithole are available from private collectors in Switzerland. Please click here for further details on these and a few works by other SA artists.

In addition, a list of mainly out-of-print art books on SA artists (including Lucas Sithole) which are still available, can also be requested from "info .at. pelmama.org".
