A definitive resource for collectors and art lovers alike, South African Art Now offers an unparalleled look at the countrys vibrant contemporary art scene. Author Sue Williamson, a renowned artist and activist herself, charts the development of South African art from the late apartheid era through to the global explosion of local talent in the 2000s. Featuring over 100 artists including William Kentridge, Marlene Dumas, and Zanele Muholi this book is a visual and intellectual feast.

A richly illustrated collection combining moving history with stunning contemporary art, 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 markets interest a generation later. Featuring the work of 90 artists and more than 500 colour images, and with an insightful foreword from Nobel laureate Nadine Gordimer, South African Art Now is a valuable resource for collectors, curators, and contemporary art enthusiasts.
