ArtThrob regularly releases portfolios, which are collections of our prints, all with the same edition number bundled together. This particular portfolio released in the late 2000s contains work by significant South African artists making iconic bodies of work in this time period. While each work is dense, the uniting theme is the effects of the past on the present.
Portfolio 2 contains a classic photomontage by Jane Alexander, two images from Lolo Veleko’s series of street portraits, an image from Guy Tillim’s investigation of Jo’burg, a portrait from Mikhael Subotzky’s series from Pollsmoor prison and an etching from Penny Siopis in characteristic pink.
