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.

Landmarks in the globalisation of modern African art
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 conflictsEven 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.
