SAMUEL FOSSO - GOLFPLAYER 1998 SIGNED, by mmkatz on Feb 9, 2019 20:00:21 GMT 1, THIS PIECE OS NOW SOLD as of 18 February 2019


Condition of artwork, Mint, it has been framed since day of purchase and kept in a home environment well loved.

Frame: proor condition. Edges of the frame are wooden and have been nibbled by my pet rabbit, so this will need sanding down, which will work as the wood is a thick frame, so I wanted to mention this plus clearly display this damage to the frame. The picture was professionally framed as shown on the sticker on the back, suitable for valuable art pieces to keep them mounted in premium manner.

Samuel Fosso set up a studio in Bangui, in the Central African Republic, at the age of thirteen, after fleeing the civil war in Nigeria. Fosso took portraits during the day to earn a living; at night, he turned the camera on himself, and sent the resulting self-portraits to his mother, who remained in Nigeria. Over the following decades, Fosso created a body of work that became increasingly provocative and experimental. After winning an award at African Photography Encounters, Africa’s most important photography festival, in 1994, Fosso gained international recognition; today, he is widely considered one of Africa’s most important contemporary artists.
