Joseph Bertiers - Yesterday Afternoon
Original 2013
Auction:
Bonhams -May 22, 2013
- London
Lot number:
1
Other WORKS AT AUCTION
Description:
Joseph Bertiers (Kenyan, born 1963)
Yesterday afternoon, 2013
signed 'Bertiers' (lower right)
oil on canvas
60 x 100cm (23 5/8 x 39 3/8in).
Bertiers's work is concerned with social, political and economic issues in Kenya and abroad. His detailed paintings and life-sized sculptures are characterised by a sharp wit and humour. As a teenager, Bertiers painted signs for shops and bars, which led him to pursue a career in art.
Yesterday afternoon
depicts a busy market scene after the announcement of the failure of the biometric BVR vote-tallying system at the recent Kenyan elections in March 2013. The IEBC announced they would be counting the votes by hand, which caused panic-buying by Kenyans anxious to get home. In the ensuing rush, traders got top prices for their wares.
The artist's career took off in 2006, when he was selected to participate in Dak'Art. In 2011, Bertiers had a solo show at Fred Gallery, with his work travelling, in turn, to the 2011 Basel Art Fair and the 2012 Johannesburg Art Fair.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
As part of the charity auction of Kenyan contemporary art, Lots 1 8 will not be subject to Bonhams' buyer's premium and payment must be made directly to the African Arts Trust. The charity auction will take place on Monday 20 May at 7pm.
