Biography

Works
[edit | edit source]- The theatre piece Tshepang (Gerhard Marx - co director, Lara Foot-Newton – director) was chosen as one of the twelve feature film projects for January 2007 Screenwriters Lab by the Sundance Institute.[4]
- The play “Hear and Now” was presented at the Baxter Theatre Centre during 2005.[5]
Controversy
[edit | edit source]According to Art News South Africa of April 2006, Marx considered legal action against BMW shortly after an ad campaign created by agency Ireland-Davenport allegedly infringed on his copyright.[6] Art News South Africa reproduced both the controversial ad – removed from circulation after a short run, and a close-up of Marx's work. His agent, Warren Siebrits had already confirmed in March 2006 that Marx will be represented by the copyright lawyer Owen Dean,[7] better known for The Lion Sleeps Tonight case.[8]
