The impressive collection carries lot number 433, and will go under the hammer at 2pm on Wednesday 8th October. Entitled The Robben Island Series, the lot comprises The Cell, The Window, The Lighthouse (left), The Harbour, The Church and The Artist’s Motivation. All are signed and numbered 10/500, are individually framed and glazed, and measure 59cm x 39cm. The extraordinary pieces were privately consigned, and are offered together with brochures from the Belgravia Gallery, where they were purchased by the vendor. The lithographs were completed in 2002, and were inspired by Mr Mandela’s profound memories of his eighteen year incarceration in Robben Island Prison. At the time of their release, The New York Times enthused that “Mr Mandela has used riotous colours to soften the bleak images, and to hint at his triumph over adversity” (12th February 2003). The Robben Island Series is on view from midday on Friday 3rd October until the morning of the sale, with these and the entire sale fully illustrated online from Thursday 2nd October. Online bidding is available via www.the-saleroom.com.
