PIASA presents, in partnership with ASPIRE auction house, a sale of African Contemporary Art on 14 February 2020 in Cape Town, South Africa.
Reinata Sadimba was born in 1945 in the village of Nemu, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique. Daughter of peasants, she received a traditional Makonde education that included the making of utilitarian objects in clay. In 1975 she began a profound transformation in her pottery which became known worldwide for the "strange and fantastic" forms. Sadimba is considered one of the most important female artists of the African continent.
She received several awards and held exhibitions in several countries, such as Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, Denmark, Italy, South Africa and Tanzania. Her work is represented in several institutions such as the National Museum of Art, Maputo and the Museum of Ethnology of Lisbon. They are part of the Culturgest Modern Art Collection and numerous private collections around the world.
