About this Item
Notes
Reclining Nude II was made specifically by Kumalo for Grosvenor Gallery and together with Reclining Nude I was one of the first two Kumalo sculptures exhibited in the United Kingdom.
It was cast by Fiorini and Carney in London. The sculptures were not numbered by Grosvenor Gallery but their records show that 9 of the edition of 10 were cast.
With thanks to Dr Gavin Watkins for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
