Joyce Ntobe AKA Beezy Bailey (South African 1962-) I DREAMED I FLEW AWAY WITH THE AMERICANS IN THEIR CADILLAC signed, dated '15, editioned A/P and inscribed with the title in pencil in the margin softground, hardground and aquatint etching with hand-embellished blind embossing In 1992 the South African National Gallery acquired three works on paper by a little known “township artist Joyce Ntobe” who had been overlooked by the selection panel of the Cape Town Triennale. When the institution wanted to pay the artist a furor erupted as it was revealed that Joyce Ntobe in fact did not exist. Joyce Ntobe was in reality, the constructed personae of artist Beezey Bailey, grandson of Randlord Sir Abe Bailey and heir to a prestigious collection of 18th century British Art on Permanent Loan to the National Gallery. With cheque in hand, Bailey held a press conference and arrived dressed in housekeeper’s uniform, half his face painted white and the other black. In a playful dig at the collecting policies of the South African National Gallery at the time of post-democratic inclusivity in 1991, Bailey produced works under cover of his ”alter-ego”. After the ploy was exposed, the works remained attributed to Joyce Ntobe because once accepted by the Acquisitions Committee, works of art in the national collection are inviolate and protected ad infinitum by an act of parliament. Building on this success, Bailey created many new works and a website that tracks Joyce’s development. Here is a unique opportunity to acquire a striking work by the now well-known Joyce Ntobe who is celebrated both locally and abroad … and is included in the National Collection! sheet size: 124 by 59cm

TOTTI, POMPILIORITRATTO DI ROMA ANTICA NEL QUALE SONO FIGURATI I PRINCIPALI TEMPII, TEATRI, ANFITEATRI, CERCHI... medaglie, & altre cose notabili. Con le vite, & effigie de' primi re d'essa.

The views are highly valuable for the historian of Roman topography, and the "restorations" interesting for the reflection of contemporary architecture. Felibien's reconstruction of Pliny's villas through an analysis of the author's letters foreshadows the rise of Romantic classicism. Felibien supplies the Latin text with his own translation and copious notes. Felibien also reproduces the description of the Laurentine villa by Scamozzi, who records discrepancies that occur in the Pliny documents. Scamozzi's text appears in the original Italian with Felibien's French translation and notes. The work concludes with Felibien's Dissertation touchant l'architecture antique et l'architrecture gothique.
