A member of the famous Wits Group of artists, abstract artist Christo Coetzee left South Africa for the United Kingdom in the early 1950s.
The late 1950s found him in Japan, studying with the Gutai group of post WWII avant-garde artists. He travelled to Paris, via New York, where he worked in the early 1960s.
He is famous for slashing his canvases during the opening of an exhibition in Cape Town in 1975 and then subsequently reassembling the pieces in a phenomenally creative manner.
After his death in 2000 Coetzee's collection of some 2600 objets d′art were donated to the University of Pretoria Art Collection, which was already in possession of 193 artworks by the artist. This catalogue features work from that collection.
Some very minor signs of use, overall though, in excellent, clean virtually As New and unread condition. A lovely copy.
84 pages, lavishly illustrated with colour photographs on nearly every page.
