In celebration of Sanlam’s 100th year, the Sanlam Art Collection presents Centennial: A century of Art from the Sanlam Art Collection 1918 – 2018...

From Botha’s devastating Butterfly Box and Kentridge’s eerily abandonedStadium to the perpetually discharging pistol of van der Merwe’s Gaste and the #RhodesMustFall reference behind Mudariki’s The Model, is art the most truthful documentation of a nation’s history? And if so, what does Sanlam’s Centennial exhibition say about the transformation of SA? The Curator Stefan Hundt takes visitors on a journey through the last 100 years, with guided tours available by appointment on set dates.  A journey that brings one face-to-face with chapters of colonial hegemony, political repression, a triumphant democracy and the economically unbalanced society that followed.

The exhibition commemorates Sanlam’s centenary and is one-of-a-kind in its objective to showcase SA history

The exhibition can be viewed from 05 September to 14 December at the Sanlam Art Lounge at 11 Alice Lane in Sandton, Johannesburg. The gallery will be open Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 16:30 and Saturdays 10:00 – 13:00. Closed Sundays and public holidays.

Free guided tours will be offered on 5 September at 16:00 and 18:00 and on 7 September at 10:00, 14:00 and 16:00.
