Company description

He was schooled in Kwa-Zulu Natal and later completed an IMM, the internationally recognised Marketing and Management qualification.
In June 2001, Christopher was employed at the Everard Read Gallery in Cape Town, an experience which proved invaluable to him. While working at this prestigious gallery he developed an eye for contemporary South African art and the intricacies of it. Through this he developed and learnt the art of sustaining and developing relationships with artists and local and international clients.
In January 2007, Christopher was approached by Sotheby's Cape Town, South Africa, to run their paintings division. He worked on the Kahn auction where record sales of 38 million rand was reached, including the sale of Irma Stern's work entitled "The Indian Woman" for R6.6 million. During his time with Sotheby's, Christopher furthered his skills in art valuation and diversified his knowledge by working with South African masters.
Christopher's passion and knowledge of South African artists, both contemporary and masters, has resulted in him opening up his own art gallery. The gallery is based in town, on the corner of Church and Loop St, in an old Victorian building built in the 1890's. He offers a wide selection of South Africa's premium artists to his clientele. His approach is to source masters and contemporary art based on the needs of his clients and he prizes himself at the quality and standard of the work he specialises in.
