With a policy of supplying art for the people by artists whose work is decorative, attractive and, above all, understandable, the Alice Art Galleries owned by Alice Pitzer are making a name for themselves as being among the most influential in South Africa.
At present there are two major galleries, in Ruimsig on the West Rand and Hartbeespoort. To put this into perspective, bear in mind that South Africa sells the third most art in the world after America and Japan. Strongly in their advantage is the fact that the law on capital gains excludes art and antique furniture which gives investors a strong impetus to buy.
Alice has been particularly successful in promoting artists whose "common touch" have a wide appeal.
