Private Collection, Johannesburg. LITERATURE Warren Siebrits (2016) Walter Battiss: Invented Myself: The Jack Ginsburg Collection , Johannesburg: The Ampersand Foundation, another impression from the edition illustrated in colour on page 121. ‘All Battiss’s erotic work was censored by the Pretoria City Council at the time of his Commemorative Exhibition at the Pretoria Art Museum, which opened October 1979. This explains why most of Battiss’s erotic and sexually explicit images only appeared in books and exhibition catalogues for the first time decades after his death in 1982.’ 1 1.
