Presented by The Art Fund and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. An acquisition project to build a collection of modern and contemporary work on paper from Australia, Canada and South Africa was undertaken over 2011-13 with the support of a grant under The Art Fund's RENEW programme. The collection was developed with the expert advice and generous assistance of Annie Coombes and Norman Vorano in relation to South African and Inuit artists respectively. Khadija Carroll, Anita Herle and Diana Wood Conroy also contributed to the selection process. Obtained as part of a larger group of prints (2013.266- 283) from The Artists' Press (The Artists' Press, Waterboard Farm, White River, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa).

Koloane's work is obliquely if not explicitly social and political; dogs caught in struggle, or here, in the aftermath of some play around dominance, were a vital motif for him in the 1990s.
This is an image of what city life means for three women, who are not literally sisters, but sex workers who provide each other with companionship and support, while competing for the attention of passing drivers.
