Mandela’s Legal Action Against Belgravia Gallery

The Guardian has reported that Nelson Mandela is to begin legal proceedings against the Belgravia Gallery in Albemarle Street in relation to lithographs and drawings they are displaying in a current exhibition to mark Mandela’s 90th birthday.

A statement from his lawyers said: “Mr Mandela has given us instruction to take urgent, appropriate steps against Belgravia gallery to stop any marketing, distribution and selling of artwork associated with his name”.

Anna Hunter, managing director of Belgravia gallery, told the Guardian that she had personally witnessed Mandela signing the works in 2002, and gave a speech alongside him when he launched them in South Africa.
