The original Mandela Landscape, an art piece created by Dutch photographer and filmmaker Anton Corbijn and visual artist Berend Strik, has been sold for 32.500 euro. The ‘Landscape’ was handed to its new owners on Wednesday October 8 at the studio of Berend Strik in Amsterdam. All proceeds are donated as a gesture of support to ZAM.
While Berend Strik had commitments elsewhere in Europe, Anton Corbijn attended the occasion. He recalled his memories of the photoshoot with Mandela more than ten years ago in Cape Town. The man who bought the work, said that he came across an art print of the Mandela Landscape at Vondeling, a wine farm situated outside of Paarl in the Western Cape, South Africa. Soon after he established that the original work was for sale and made an offer. ZAM editor-in-chief Bart Luirink expressed his gratitude for the artist’s support and the buyer’s interest in the work. ‘It will enable ZAM to initiate new exciting projects and build our movement’, Luirink said.
