Book Description
Described by international curator Okwui Enwezor as "one of the most dynamic and vigorous spaces of artistic practice," contemporary South African art is an exciting, emerging scene that is attracting the attention of international museums, curators, and collectors today. South African Art Now documents, through in-depth essays and stunning full-color photographs, the remarkable work of nearly one hundred South African artists working in every medium from painting, sculpture, and video to cutting-edge performance art. This lush volume includes the impressive work of art world stars such as William Kentridge and Marlene Dumas; newly prominent artists such as Berni Searle, Robin Rhode, and Mustafa Maluka; and exciting newcomers still unknown outside their own country, but clearly marked for success. This book covers forty years of art history, from the dark years of apartheid, which saw the rise of resistance art, to the long-awaited achievement of freedom in 1994, to the present-day struggles for reconciliation and transformation. Through it all, the engaged, powerful work of these artists provided a mirror for society. Including a compelling foreword by Nobel Prize-winning writer Nadine Gordimer, South African Art Now is a must-have resource for collectors, curators, and anyone interested in the pulse of international contemporary art.

Book Description
South Africa boasts a rich tradition of collection and curatorship in arts and culture, with collections of international stature and growing prominence. The curators of these national assets are frequently approached to contribute South African art and cultural objects to international exhibits. The interest extends beyond the national, though. South African collections contain substantial holdings of Western European, Asian and African art, sculpture and artifacts. Visual Heritage takes the expertise of South African art critics and cultural historians to the broader community, increasing awareness of and access to Africa's collections of art and cultural objects. Designed as a handy field guide for both connoisseurs and amateurs, Visual Heritage guides the reader in aspects of cultural history and art critique. In full color, the book covers twenty-four of the most important permanent collections in South Africa -- selected because they are public or semi-public collections of international reputation, and together offer a variety of media and traditions. The book equips the reader with the knowledge and skills necessary to visit further collections, galleries and museums, many of which feature in directory entries in the book.
