A monograph published to coincide with Wim Botha’s Pietà exhibition at Stevenson, Johannesburg, 18 August - 25 September 2015.
Following Botha's 2004 Mieliepap Pietà, a life-size replica of Michelangelo’s original modelled from maize meal, in 2015 the artist produced a full-scale bronze extrapolation of the Pietà initially carved from polystyrene blocks; a suite of 119 studies on canvas and paper; and a drawing in three dimensions.
