Nairobi (AFP) - Kenyan artist Boniface Maina, dreadlocks peeping out from a woolly hat, strolls round paintings and sculptures going under the hammer Tuesday in the first commercial auction of east African art.
The auction in Kenya's capital Nairobi is a sign of the growing profile of the region's flourishing art scene.
"It's a great step towards east African art becoming better known," Maina said, adding he hopes in the future to collect art as well as create it.
Tuesday's high society auction at an upmarket hotel includes 47 lots from the past three or four decades, with prices expected to range from a few hundred dollars (euros) to almost $30,000 (22,000 euros).
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
