  • The Sanlam Art Collection Stefan Hundt Curator: Sanlam Art Collection Sanlam Life Insurance Ltd
    The Sanlam Art Collection Stefan Hundt Curator: Sanlam Art Collection Sanlam Life Insurance Ltd History Like many corporate collections, the Sanlam Art Collection had its modest beginning with the purchase of paintings by South African artists for the decoration of the executive offices in its head office located in Bellville. In contrast to most corporations, Sanlam decided to see its purchases as forming a collection1. In 1965 a proposal made by the then general manager of Sanlam, Dr Andreas Wassenaar, that an art collection be established, was approved by the board of directors.2 The following year Dr Wassenaar decided to change the already long established theme of “Road Safety” of the Sanlam calendar to the reproduction of paintings by well known South African artists from the Sanlam Art Collection.3 The enthusiastic reception of the calendar encouraged the company to pursue the art collection with more vigour and by 1968 the collection had grown to over 100 items. In 1969 Sanlam began with the first public display of its collection with an exhibition of a selection of 55 works at the Pretoria Art Museum and South African National Gallery.4 This inaugurated a travelling exhibition programme whereby a selection from the Sanlam Art Collection being exhibited across South Africa and the then Rhodesia in the larger cities and in many smaller rural towns on an annual basis. The rigorous travelling schedule was not kind to many of the paintings and it was decided in 1993 to discontinue the countrywide travelling exhibitions.5 The Sanlam Art Collection is located at the Sanlam Head Office Although no collecting policy was formally at 2 Strand Road in Bellville.

  • Visual Century
    Volume four: 1990–2007 Edited by Thembinkosi Goniwe, Mario Pissarra and Mandisi Majavu VISUAL CENTURY South African Art in Context The end of the Cold War and subsequent rise of globalisation, along with the advent of democracy in South Africa, introduced new social and political orders, with profound implicatio ns for South African artists. This was a time when the persistence of economic inequalities and con icts within and beyond national borders constantly militated against an unbridled celebration of ‘freedom’. This volume critically addresses some of the most notable developments and visible trends in post-apartheid South African art. These include South Africa’s entry into the internationa l art world, its struggle to address its past, and artists’ persistent and often provocative preoccupations with individual and collective identity. The widespread and often unsettling representation of the human body, as well as animal forms, along with the steady increase of new technologies and the development of new forms of public art, are also discussed. While much of the art of the period is open-ended and non-didactic, the persistence of engagement with socially responsive themes questions the reductive binary between resistan ce and post-apartheid art that has come to dominate accounts of artistic production before and after South Africa’s democratic election.

    c A T AL 0 GUERAI SONNE OF MAGGIE LA UBSER ' S M 0 R K 1 9O0 — 1 92 4 Elizabeth Cheryl Delmonc A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg for the Degree of Master of Arts Johannesburg 19 7 9 I, ELIZABETH DELMOh’T, declare that this Dissertation is my own unaided work and has not been submitted to any other university. To my parents - for my educational and cultural background - - - - and to my husband, Eric - for his encouragement, endurance and moral support. ABSTRACT This dissertation comprises a catalogue r a i son ne of Maggie Laubser's works (in all mediums) from 1900 until 1924, when she returned permanently to South Africa. The primary intention is to establish the correct dates and sequence of the early works, a task considerably complicated by the f c. c t that many of her paintings and drawings are either not dated or are incorrectly dated. Thus critical evaluation is directed net at a qualitative assessment of individual paint­ ings but rather at attempting a logical and systematic organization of the works of the early period. fating of works is based on visual evidence (style, signa ure, motif, sketches, etc.) with supporting document­ ation such as written and verbal information from owners of paintings, from friends and acquaintances of the artist, and from Laubser herself. An examination of her passports has made it possible for the first time to establish the exact dates of her movements overseas, as have other documents, particularly those in the University of Stellenbosch archives The fully illustrated catalogue of 451 works, which in­ cludes factual information about each work (viz., description exhibitions, literature references, provenance etc.), is accompanied by a text in which stylistic and iconographie developments are examined within the context of source material and influences, both direct and indirect, local and international.

  • South African Seduction Nearly 20 Years After the Fall of Apartheid, the Country’S Art Scene Is Poised to Move Onto the World Stage 80
    SOUTH AFRICAN SEDUCTION Nearly 20 years after the fall of apartheid, the country’s art scene is poised to move onto the world stage 80 to many outsiders, the south african art world may seem to have produced no more than a few major talents—most notably William Kentridge. Their work further suffers by being narrowly perceived as inextricably associated with apartheid, still the lodestone of South African identity. This oversimplification persists largely because even decades after the global boycott of South Africa’s economy and culture came to an end, the country’s art scene remains small. And while a few galleries are starting to reach out internationally, the arts still lack the broad popular audience at home that they enjoy in the Americas, Europe, and, increasingly, Asia. Exacerbating the problem, the ruling African National Congress seems more interested in exploiting the divide than in broadening support for the arts, as evidenced by the party’s attempt last year to censor a painting of polygamist president Jacob Zuma as Lenin with his penis exposed. Intended by artist Brett Murray as a denunciation of corruption among ANC leadership, the government moved to suppress the work, BY JASON EDWARD KAUFMAN launching a lawsuit against Johannesburg’s Goodman Gallery and calling on party members to boycott a newspaper that published the image. A tribunal ruled that no action be taken, but the firestorm left the impression that South Africa’s government was more interested in culture wars than cultural development. Yet a closer look reveals an art economy beginning to emerge from colonial provincialism.
