ABSTRACT
This assertion, by Albie Sachs, Justice on the Constitutional Court
of South Africa, was printed in the Art from South Africa exhibi-
tion catalogue (June 1990-July 1991). It was made soon after
Nelson Mandela’s release from Robben Island and the lifting of the
ban on the ANC. Although the catalogue discussed these issues, it
also highlighted the status and the role of art in a postcolonial and
globalised world.
