This exhibition celebrates the return to South Africa from France of a large collection of Gerard Sekoto's drawings, paintings, photographs, letters, private documents and mementoes.

Condition: very good - contents clean and unmarked - (softcover) lightly marked with gentle bumping to the corners. "The exhibition Exiles celebrates the repatriation to South Africa of a crucial cultural heritage, salvaged from dispersal in European auctions and returned to the country. The collection features more than two hundred and fifty drawings, exclusive vintage photographs, precious correspondence and private documents. This invaluable ensemble bears a compelling and poignant testimony to the dedication of Gerard Sekoto to his art and opens a window on the many stories and facets of his life in exile, on a journey of self discovery."
