Dan Gluckstein. The Shadow Boxing.

"Shadow Boxing". Photography.

Photograph belonging to the Celebrity Portraits series. Autographed by Nelson Mandela, Muhammad Ali, the artists participating in the concert as well as other famous people such as Oprah Winfrey. In the lower center original ticket to the concert.

Historical photograph that was part of the mythical 46664 Concert held at the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town (South Africa) on November 29, 2003. It was the first of a series of charity concerts held in different countries between 2003 and 2008 in honor of Nelson Mandela, to raise funds to benefit the fight against AIDS in Africa.

46664 is a symbol in Mandela''s life. 1964 is the year in which he entered Robben Island prison and he was prisoner 466 of that year, which is why he was identified with the number 466/64, a number he kept until his transfer to Pollsmoor prison in 1982 and which Mandela kept as a hallmark of their struggle. This concert featured, among others, Bono, The Edge, Anastacia, Beyoncé, Bob Geldof, Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor), Yusuf Islam (formerly known as Cat Stevens), Peter Gabriel, The Who, The Corrs, Soweto Gospel Choir, Eurythmics, Johnny Clegg, etc.

During the dinner offered after the concert, the auction of the photograph that we presented was held, for which well-known characters such as Oprah Winfrey, who offered the penultimate bid, bid.

Dana Gluckstein has photographed historical figures such as Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, Desmond Tutu and Muhammad Ali and has won major awards for advertising campaigns for Apple and Toyota. Permanent collections such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, etc. They feature works by Dana Gluckstein. 95x120cm
