This early work by Ian van Coller integrates images from African dioramas at the Natural History Museum and historical photos with the notable South African Artist’s handwriting to contemplate the nature and layered if not duplicitous history of Africa. A sweet and lovely work by the Guggenheim-awarded Artist, it exemplifies roots important to van Coller’s hybridized style, including the use of collage and handwriting. It foreshadows a connection to what has become a growing interest in Naturalism.
