Christies will present Dylan Lewis: Shapeshifting on 10 September, a sale comprising sixty outstanding animal and figurative bronze sculptures by the renowned South African sculptor. Over the past decade, Dylan Lewis has been creating a unique seven-hectare sculpture garden in South Africa located in the foothills of the Stellenbosch mountains situated outside Cape Town. To facilitate further expansion of the garden he has decided to release works from his personal collection to be auctioned. Created by the artist over the past two decades, these sculptures are the last remaining commercially available examples of each edition. Acquired by both collectors and royalty, many of Dylan Lewis sculptures are also in public collections. The top lots of the sale are Running Cheetah Pair II (estimate: £60,000-100,000) and Leopard Lying on Rocks (estimate: £60,000-100,000). Estimates range from £2,000 to £100,000. Andy Waters, Cu
