| Signage: | The famous Mozambican artist, Malangatana, gave this work to his friend Albie Sachs. The artwork was made two years before Sachs was the victim of a car bomb, planted by the apartheid forces in Maputo, in 1988. Sachs survived, and continued to be an admirer of Malangatana's graphic work, which came to signify resistance against violence. |
