It’s never a good sign when Derek Watts rocks up at your door and starts asking questions.
In the world of art, people go to great lengths to avoid being taken for a fool, but even the biggest deals in the world are often shrouded in mystery.
You only need to look at the ongoing saga of da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi for evidence of that.
Closer to home, there’s drama in the Winelands, and Derek and the crew went digging for dirt.
This via the Carte Blanche YouTube channel:
Art Collectors and dealers weave a complex matrix of high-value property that changes hands in private deals and public auctions. Now collectors who are determined to expose a multi-million rand art heist that’s been playing out for two decades in Stellenbosch, take on a prominent gallery owner for promising big but delivering little when it comes to selling their work.
You don’t need to be an art fan to find this segment, from Sunday’s show, riveting.
Get busy, Derek:
