ARTHROB


Polly Street Art Centre in central Johannesburg, which existed roughly between 1952 and 1975 in ethos if not in Polly Street itself, is the subject of the first of The Ampersand Foundation's (TAF) newest initiatives. The Foundation aims to research and document 'previously under-researched South African art history', according to chairman Jack Ginsberg. Elza Miles wrote the main text, Helene Smuts wrote an educational supplement, which slips into the cover, and Paul Emmanuel designed the book.
