COLLECTOR'S NOTE
Helen Teede is a Zimbabwean contemporary artist. In describing her work, she notes:
My paintings are grounded in the idea of “staying with the trouble”. They open up an exploration of abject bodies and monstrous shadows that we have to learn to live with and make kin with in a time characterised by ecological and humanitarian crisis. I am neither searching for polemic truths, nor pretending that the trouble isn’t there, but rather trying to find a visual way of sitting with it and learning how to be with it.[1]
Helen Teede has shown in a number of noteworthy exhibitions and fairs. She was featured in the Zeitz MOCAA exhibition, Five Bhobh – Painting at the End of an Era in 2018 and participated in the FNB Joburg and Investec Cape Town Art Fairs in 2016 and 2017. Most recently, in 2023, Teede was awarded the Tracey Emin inaugural artist residency. Running at Emin’s, newly opened TKE Studios, in the English artist’s hometown of Margate, Kent, Teede is one of 10 artists participating in the Spring 2023 program.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Logistics
While we endeavour to assist our Clients as much as possible, we require artwork(s) to be delivered and/or collected from our premises by the Client. In instances where a Client is unable to deliver or collect artwork(s), Aspire staff is available to assist in this process by outsourcing the services to one of our preferred Service Providers. The cost for this will be for the Client’s account, with an additional Handling Fee of 15% charged on top of the Service Provider’s invoice.
Aspire Art provides inter-company transfer services for its Clients between Johannesburg and Cape Town branches. These are based on the size of the artwork(s), and charged as follows:
Small (≤60x90x10 cm): R480
Medium (≤90x120x15 cm): R960
Large (≤120x150x20 cm): R1,440
Over-size: Special quote
Should artwork(s) be collected or delivered to/from Clients by Aspire Art directly, the following charges will apply:
Collection/delivery ≤20km: R400
Collection/delivery 20km>R800≤50km
Collection/delivery >50km: Special quote
Packaging
A flat fee of R100 will be added to the invoice for packaging of unframed works on paper.
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.
Collections
Collections are by appointment, with 24-hours’ notice
Clients are requested to contact the relevant office and inform Aspire Art of which artwork(s) they would like to collect, and allow a 24-hour window for Aspire Art’s logistics department to retrieve the artwork(s) and prepare them for collection.
Handling Fee
Aspire Art charges a 15% Handling Fee on all Logistics, Framing, Restoration and Conservation arranged by Aspire.
