About
Aspire Art is an auction house and art advisory founded in 2016, focused on twentieth-century, modern and contemporary art from Africa. It holds records and several industry firsts for the sale of contemporary African art and canonical Black Modernist work.
Its annual programme of live auctions runs between Cape Town and Johannesburg, complemented by online sales, private sales and curated selling exhibitions, plus valuation and advisory services. Its Cape Town home is at Mandela Rhodes Place, a landmark building in the city centre.
Because it works on an auction and exhibition cycle rather than a rolling gallery programme, it is worth checking dates before visiting.
