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 is the first book to document the role of art and artists in the evolution of today’s post-apartheid South Africa. Artist and author Sue Williamson explores five decades of South African art, from early political art in the 1960s (during the apartheid years) to the thought-provoking works that grabbed the international art market’s interest a generation later.
