Port Elizabeth couple Kevin and Michal Abraham are inviting art lovers to an exhibition and sale of their private art collection from Tuesday, November 6 until Saturday, November 17.
Their Off The Wall exhibition and silent auction will open at 6pm at Art on Target in Target Kloof, Essexvale.
The Abrahams have an extensive collection of work by Eastern Cape artists who include Greg Kerr, Derek Erasmus, Alida Bothma, Theresa Hardman, Edgar Pretorius, BA Moolman, Lynnley Watson, Karen Flood, Zeraldo Ross, Lisa Ledwick, Shirley Pittaway, Debra Ward Able and many more.
Now that they are downscaling, they hope their art will bring much pleasure to others as it has to them.
“We’ve lived in our big home for many years, and our walls were filled with art that added light, life, colour and reference to our journey as a family,” Kevin said.
“Well, the kids have flown the nest. A smaller home beckons, adventure awaits, and the art simply cannot come with.
“So welcome to Off the Wall, an eclectic exhibition and sale of the Abraham family’s pictures and paintings, highlighting our passion for that very special bunch of creatives: Eastern Cape artists,” Kevin said.
Businessman and musician Kevin – most recently seen in the show Folkify! – said a portion of the proceeds would be donated to the Union of Jewish Women.
“You can utilise our ‘Silent Bid’ for many of the items on display or go for broke at an open auction for some of the investment works,” he said.
“A very wise lady told us that when you sell art that you have loved, you really are passing on that love as a legacy to the person who next chooses it.
“We believe that art helped made our home come alive, and we want to pass that on.”
Exhibition hours are 9am to 5pm from Monday to Friday and 9am to 1pm on Saturday.
