Art auction: Bag works by top talent
This year marks the 25th anniversary of one of SA's most successful and productive collective artists' studios - the Bag Factory, founded by David Koloane and Robert Loder in a hessian bag factory in Fordsburg, where it is still located. Work by artists who have been developed by the organisation is on display ahead of an auction on Thursday at the Absa Gallery.The 71 lots have been donated by artists including William Kentridge, David Goldblatt, Deborah Bell, Nelson Makamo, Sam Nhlengetwa, Roger Ballen, Paul Weinberg, and Walter Battiss. Money raised from the auction will go towards developing the Bag Factory's infrastructure and projects to ensure that the space continues to develop future generations of South African artists.
