Beautiful, original work by perhaps the greatest South African visual artist. He was inspired by prehistoric art, especially rock art, and was friends with Picasso, among others, by whom he was also influenced.
Woodcut on paper, mounted in a passe-partout envelope (as issued) with Battiss's own title in pencil on the passe-partout. In good condition.
From the signed edition “Fragments of Africa” from 1951 (edition 250 copies). In South Africa this work brings about 300-500 euros at auction. Authenticity is fully guaranteed; a certificate of authenticity will be drawn up and provided upon request with purchase.
Dimensions: 43cm x 29cm (incl. cover passe-partout), 20cm x 16cm (image)
This artwork can be well packed and shipped by registered mail at the buyer's expense.

When purchasing, a work of art can always be picked up in Diemen (near Amsterdam, a few minutes from the A10 ring road), but only by appointment. The period for collection is very generous; you can possibly pick up the work weeks or even months later and, if possible, combine it with a visit to (the area around) Amsterdam for other matters. In that case, you will of course save on shipping costs. The only exception to the above is that if the seller at any time decides to ship the work free of charge , this is binding, i.e. the work cannot be picked up in that case. This will only happen in exceptional cases and the buyer will not run any financial risk.
