História biográfica
It was Norman Sher, the owner of the artwork and father of the artist Eric Sher, who initiated the painting of Chancellor House after re-visiting the building in 2008. He worked for attorneys Gershon and Jack Berman during the early 1950s. Their offices were situated one floor below the offices of Mandela and Tambo, where he made their personal acquaintance.
