The proceeds from the sale of this lot will benefit The Ampersand Foundation.

The Ampersand Foundation is a non-profit charitable trust established in 1997, managed by a board of South African and American trustees. The foundation rewards excellence in the visual arts by granting an Ampersand Fellowship Award to professional South African contemporary visual arts practitioners, offering a fully funded one-month residency in New York
City. During the residency, recipients of this grant have the opportunity to visit leading museums, gaining international exposure and enriching their professional development. In addition to the fellowship, the Foundation supports local artists by providing bursaries and acquiring their work for public museums and galleries, thereby contributing to the growth and accessibility of contemporary art and artists’ books in South Africa.
