Under the Hammer

By KZN Invest Magazine18/04/20232 Mins Read
At auction

A magnificent 337-lot rare art collection is going on auction on May 6 and is expected to attract top-end art experts.

The impressive art collection was housed at Makaranga Garden Lodge, previously Fern Valley Estate, which was bought by Dana and Chick Flack in the early 2000s. In this time, the Flack family created a landscaping masterpiece accompanied by a luxurious lodge set on 30-acres in Kloof, KwaZulu-Natal.

Synonymous with these enchanting gardens – and what has set Makaranga Lodge apart from others – is its prolific and highly regarded collection of contemporary artworks.

A stunning array of pieces were collected over a lifetime by Dana and Chick Flack from around the world. The collection include sculptures and paintings from some of South Africa’s most celebrated artists as well as renowned Zimbabwean sculptures and a plethora of international artists.

The artwork will form part of a 337-lot auction which is sure to generate both national and international interest.

The Makaranga property has already been sold by In2Assets to a private investor.
