January Online Estates

Damian Msagula sold fruits and vegetables when he first met the Tingatinga artists in Tanzania. In 1973, Msagula joined those artists and started painting. Msagula eventually developed his own artistic style. A balance of colors was important to him, particularly when making his own pigments from plants. His paintings are centered around African culture, making Msagula a central figure in Tanzania’s art scene. Numerous paintings by the artist will be offered in the upcoming January Online Estates auction, presented by Material Culture.

Among other lots, Ian Ingersoll’s dining table is among the highlights of the sale. Ingersoll, a renowned cabinetmaker from West Cornwall, is known for his Shaker furniture.
