Auction Finds - A Special Heritage Day Edition - Original Frans Claerhout Listings!!!

 Another exciting find!!! Two books illustrated with original Frans Claerhout drawings. Frans Claerhout was born in Belgium, but moved to South Africa when he was 27 years old as a missionary and a priest. He died in South Africa at the age of 87 years, so I think we can claim him as a South African artist!


In recent years there has been a huge scandal surrounding forgeries of Claerhout paintings, which has unfortunately brought down the value of his original works. I did find a pencil sketch a few years ago, which I sold for R4000. ($300). The books themselves are already worth money, especially Xoli And The Christmas Father, which is a relatively rare title. I have listed both the books for R1900 ($143) each. I presume only the much more expensive oil paintings would have been forged, so I am pretty confident that these sketches are original.  The books in themselves are both really charming. 


These books are only two out of a veritable heap of books my husband bought at last week's auction, and we are both really hoping more will be offered for sale on Wednesday! Yesterday was Heritage Day, a public holiday in South Africa, and so we have have the day off work today. I think spending hours taking photos (well over 2000 photos) and sorting and editing photos, especially those dealing with South African artists, was a very apt (though exhausting) way to spend my time this long weekend!
