This new collection transcends time and speaks to how society has changed idols over the years… and the new owner of each of the seven works will take home a signed Guinness World Record Certificate with their purchase.
The Wildlife Collection is made up by works by Dessi Di Mar, Ian Albertyn, Roxy Foxx, Jooj Art & Hargreaves Ntukwana. Passionate about wildlife conservation, Art Haus will donate 50% of the profits generated from the sale of these spectacular pieces to non-profit New Earth Custodians, managed by Stan Kessel.
