After 25 years in the corporate world Marion Dixon decided to follow her longtime interest in art and obtained a Master’s in History of Art from the University of the Witwatersrand. Before joining Strauss & Co as senior art specialist in Johannesburg eight years ago, she consulted on corporate art collections, curated exhibitions, notably Water: The Delicate Thread of Life at Standard Bank Gallery, Johannesburg, and worked as curator of the Constitutional Court Art Collection. Marion moved to Stellenbosch two years ago and now represents Strauss & Co in the Winelands.
