Who said buying art was a millionaire’s game? With a new Citymob deal, buying artworks from some of The Mother City’s best illustrators feels almost like stealing.
Cape Town Tourism has been working with group buying site CityMob to bring a special deal to Cape Town every week. This week the deal celebrates the city’s design – a relevant theme considering Cape Town’s semifinalist status in the bid to become the 2014 World Design Capital.
Citymob approached Between 10and5, a showcase platform for the South African design industry, to curate a collection of original artwork by Cape Town’s top illustrators. Each illustrator created an A2 poster inspired by their Cape Town icons in their own unique style. The posters are being sold on the CityMob site for R120 each including delivery. The deal went live yesterday morning and runs till the end of the week.
Online buyers can choose an original piece by Bruce Mackay, Chris Slabber, Michael Tymbios, Jaco Haasbroek, Simon Berndt of One Horse Town, Daniel Ting Chong or even snap up the whole collection.
Not only is this a great way to support local design talent, it’s probably the most inexpensive way to add contemporary art pieces to your collection.
