A crash course in contemporary South African art. A cache of Good
Hope
Stand in a room filled with South African art and you realise how precious
little of it you are exposed to. The artists present aren’t surprised, or
offended. “You’ve probably only heard of William Kentbridge,” offers Kevin
Brand graciously. Brand himself is a master of media, using prosaic symbols to
make serious social and political commentary.

The Newark Museum’s African collection. It features work produced between the

understanding of Africa and its artists, providing a window into the ongoing
artistic creativity of this dynamic continent.

has launched Trans Cape, South Africa's first and largest contemporary
African art exhibition, which will open in Cape Town on September 23 and run for
four weeks. Work from approximately 70 contemporary artists from across Africa
will be showcased.
Contemporary African art is experiencing a renaissance in the West, moving
beyond the primitivism of 1906 when western artists were influenced by
traditional African art, and which sparked off a trend in the 1930s and 1940s of
showing African artworks in the West.
Seydou Keita: From tin of negatives,
mural-sized conflicts
Even by the elevated standard of the New York art world,
the rumor was exceptional: a tin of negatives buried in Africa for three
decades that, when opened, revealed the work of a photographer who was
neither "outsider" nor "indigenous" but spectacularly
modern. And so the bejeweled and bohemian showed up at the Gagosian Gallery
the evening of Oct. 18, 1997, wearing Fulani bracelets beneath their Charvet
cuffs, blouses referencing Matisse referencing North African fabrics, Xhosa
men in dinner jackets.
