Provenance:
Everard Read Gallery, Johannesburg - 2006
Lucas Sithole Estate - 2005
Gallery 101, Johannesburg
Work exhibited:
Everard Read Gallery, Johannesburg - 2006
Note:
This signed cast was only rediscovered in 2005 by Lucas Sithole's son Johannes Buti who lives in his parents first home and who found it dug under some rubble in their garden, together with 5 other hitherto unrecorded unsigned and unfinished works from his father!
This cast had been broken at the neck and was repaired by Johannes Buti in 2005 and professionally by the Everard Read Gallery in 2006 and its sale was accordingly permitted by the copyright holders on behalf of the whole Sithole Estate.
