Paul du Toit - a growing legacy
In the decade since his passing, Paul’s legacy as a multi-disciplinary artist has continued to grow, as has the interest in his work.
Much has happened since the Paul du Toit archive was established in 2014. His position was firmly cemented by the publication of a monologue entitled PAUL edited by Ashraf Jamal.
New collectors, both local and international, have acquired pieces and, with limited supply, Paul’s works have realised higher prices in the secondary market - particularly his later paintings and works on paper.
There has been renewed focus on Paul’s sculpture from gallerists and curators with exhibitions at Tokara and the Investec Cape Town Art Fair as well as the public placement of some of his monumental sculptures in Cape Town, Franschhoek and Hermanus.
Smaller sculptures previously not cast in bronze, such as Boat People and Space Oddity, have been made available in limited editions. Paul’s Zanzibar Series of bronze sculptures, created in 2002, continues to be exhibited to great appreciation by collectors.
I continue to support charitable causes that were close to Paul’s heart, including Zip Zap Circus School, JAG Foundation, SAFIM and African Tails.
A stunning selection of works are available from Rossouw Modern Art Galleries, contact Jozua Rossouw for the full catalogue.
