    FLORENCE LOUISE JOSEPHINE ZERFFI Florence Louise Josephine Zerffi (Image 1) was born in London, England. Her details were registered in Kensington Birth Register, July 1883 (Image 2). Mother: Louise Agnes Louise Emilie Agnes Zerffi née Beÿer, Father: William Douglas Zerffi, married in Berlin. Art Education Florence Zerffi studied art in London and at the Konigliche Kunstgewerbeschule, Berlin under Professor Emil Doepler. Short Artist Biography (Ref: 3) - 1916 She came to South Africa, settled in Cape Town; was elected a member of South African Society of Artists (SASA). She exhibited in various group exhibitions, including those of the SASA. Having been involved in art circles, she was a colleague of such well-known artists as Nita Spilhaus, Gregoire Boonzaier, Freida Lock, Terence McCaw, Hugo Naude, Lippy Lipshitz and Walter Battiss. - 1921 to 1924 She was appointed Keeper of Michaelis Art Collection in the Old Town House. Following this appointment, her participation in SASA exhibitions came to an end. She then held various exhibitions with Ruth Prowse. 1 - 1924 (26 May) Zerffi married artist Harry Stratford Caldecott (Ref: 4, 5 & 6). Over the years the couple exhibited together on a regular basis, with their first joint exhibition being in 1925. Caldecott became one of Zerffi’s favourite subjects for her paintings. Their styles were complete opposites, Zerffi’s the result of her German training, whilst Caldecott showed influences of the French school. - 1929 Her husband died 12 December 1929, following which she taught painting privately at various Cape Town High Schools. She preferred to work in the subdued light of her studio as she found the intense African light detracted from the true nature of the colours she chose to represent.

The history of the KWV art collection refl ects the origins of the brand with the theme of the Cape winelands recurring throughout. As a corporate collection assembled over the course of some 50 years, the motivation was to purchase established names as well as support local emerging artists who had a relationship with the extended Boland winelands. The result is a fascinating slice through South African art history in which the landscapes refl ect where the fruit of the vine was grown and the interiors suggest where it was consumed and enjoyed.

Lynn Chadwick’s abstracted standing or sitting human forms in bronze or welded steel, with bulky draped bodies and stick- like limbs, are immediately recognisable. The artist works with the tensions set up by contrasts between dark and light, rough and smooth, solid and insubstantial, organic and geometric and matt and polished, and he succeeds equally well at all scales from table-top-sized works to monumental, larger-than-life figures that dominate the landscape. He builds a space frame that is filled in with plaster compound and then cast, so his sculptures invariably appear constructed rather than carved or modelled and his focus on geometric space-displacing forms possibly reflects his original training and experience as an architectural draftsman. In the present lots, the rectangular (male) and triangular (female) headed forms, with featureless bronze faces burnished to a mirror-like sheen, are swathed in voluminous, almost architectural drapery.
