A CHARCOAL DRAWING BY IRMA STERN, SOUTH AFRICAN, 1935

Framed The work was exhibited in Moscow in 1957 at VDNKH during the International Festival of Youth and Students and was probably used for political purposes against apartheid in South Africa.

Hozhatelev owned the work until 1987 and then the artworks were exhibited at Viktor Makhotin’s gallery in 1987 during the exhibition "Station of Fee Mails".
