COLLECTOR'S NOTE
This artwork featured at the Investec Cape Town Art Fair in 2018, where Turiya Magadlela was commissioned to present an installation along with artists Lungiswa Gqunta, and Sethembile Msezane in the Unframed section of the fair. The artists were asked to look at the object as a tool for disruption. The curator, Tumelo Mosaka, said that the artists were chosen as their work speaks to materiality, both in art production and the everyday lives of women, outside of a gallery booth environment.
Magadlela’s unique style of painting with pantyhose has caught both local and international attention. She has recently been part of a group show, Fabric, at Peter Blum Gallery in New York in May and June of this year. The show featured other international artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Sonya Clark, Esther Kläs and Shinique Smith amongst others. Her list of local and global group exhibitions is extensive with the most recent being Lean On Me, Ko Gallery, Lagos, Nigeria (2023); Contemporary African Art Survey, Kunsthal KAdE, Amersfoort, Netherlands (2023); A Collection of African Portraits, Kunstehal Krems, Vienna, Austria (2022); We Paint, École Nationale Supérieure de Beaux Arts de Paris, Paris, France (2022); (De)framing identity and the body, I know you are, but what am I?, Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, Utah, United States of America (2022) and Shades of human nature: Storytelling through resilient colour at the Bloom Gallery in Geneva, Switzerland, amongst others.
Solo exhibitions for the artist include Would Say II, Ubuntu un rêve lucide at Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2021) and A Few Good Friends, Motho Fela at LatchKey Gallery in New York (2021). Her work has featured in valuable publications such as Planet B: Climate Change and the New Sublime written by the French curator and art critic Nicolas Bourriaud (2022) and African Artists, From 1882 to Now (Phaidon Press Inc: 2021) which features work from over 300 artists including prominent names such as Wangechi Mutu, El Anatsui, David Goldblatt, Marlene Dumas, William Kentridge, Julie Mehretu and Lubaina Himid.
COLLECTIONS
The artist is represented in numerous local and international collections, notably, the Johannesburg Art Gallery, Johannesburg.; University of Cape Town, Cape Town and Société Générale Collection, France.

International Collectors Shipping Package
For collectors based outside South Africa who purchase regularly from Aspire Art’s auctions in South Africa, it does not make sense to ship artworks individually or per auction and pay shipping every time you buy another work. Consequently, we have developed a special collectors’ shipping package to assist in reducing shipping costs and the constant demands of logistics arrangements.
For buyers from outside South Africa, we will keep the artworks you have purchased in storage during the year and then ship all the works you have acquired during the year together, so the shipping costs are reduced. At the end of the annual period, we will source various quotes to get you the best price, and ship all your artworks to your desired address at once.
Aspire Art will arrange suitable storage during, and cost-effective shipping at the end, of the annual period.
