Bonhams' South African art director talks about the auctioneers' latest exhibition

Bonhams director of South African art, Giles Peppiatt, talks about the fine art auctioneers' latest exhibition in London.
Bonhams and Investec are presenting “Lost in the Dust”; an exhibition celebrating a powerful series of narrative paintings of the Anglo-Boer War by John Meyer, South Africa’s leading contemporary realist artist.
On public viewing at Bonhams from 22 July in London, this is the first time this collection has exhibited outside of Africa.
The exhibition is unusual in many respects, not least for being a vision of war from the perspective of the vanquished; normally the ‘truth’ of war is written and painted by the victors.
The exhibition is also supporting the 25th anniversary year of the African wildlife conservation organisation, Tusk, through a charity auction.
