Actually I rather, I have a - how can I put it - a grudging admiration for Ivan's stand with the ICA. Whatever you think of his views on representativeart and so on, he was very gutsy in doing that.
He first tried painting in 1980, when the company now known as Anheuser-Busch InBev NV sponsored an art project and asked him to create something representative of his sport.
According to a Bonhams representative, the painting will be exhibited, alongside the rest of the diamond retailer's art collection, at the Delaire Graff Estate, near Stellenbosch in the Western Cape.
