HERMANN NIEBUHR " MINE", softcover, 30 pages, fine art colour imagery of artist's work, 21.6 cms x 20.3 cms, some slight wear to front cover & minor rippling of pages, otherwise condition: good.
Niebuhr has delved into Johannesburg's history as a gold-mining boomtown.For this series of polychromatic paintings, Niebuhr sourced photos of the mine dumps surrounding Johannesburg. The dumps are piles of gold dust and mining dregs and are as large as man-made pyramids dominating the landscapes of Johannesburg's outlying areas.
But not for much longer as the mine dumps have been relentlessly reduced using better gold extraction techniques and also because of the underlying , now industrial, real estate.
