LUCAS SITHOLE
Unauthorised and authorised bronze casts
We hope the following information will help potential new owners to be careful when making a decision to acquire an unauthorised bronze by Lucas SITHOLE.
Such work will never have the same value as an approved cast and would normally not be handled by reputable auctioneers or galleries!

Notes:
Both the Adler Fielding Galleries (until 1967) and their successors "The Gallery" (1968/1969) and Gallery 101 (as from 1963) occasionally made a bronze cast of a work in Rhodesian teak in an edition of 3, which was finished off by Lucas Sithole personally to resemble the original work. However, by 1973 the directors of Gallery 101 had stopped having a cast made of any work in wood.
