Goodman Gallery’s crucial archival exhibition programme continues with this insightful and long-overdue homage exhibition bringing together the work of three of SA’s most important contemporary black artists — the late David Koloane (1938—2019), Kagiso “Pat” Mautloa and Sam Nhlengethwa.

The exhibition features a selection of paintings, drawings and charcoal works on paper from the most consequential period in recent SA art history — the 1980s to the 2020s.

All three artists have been instrumental in this time period in changing institutional and official perceptions about contemporary art. From a conceptual perspective, what brings the work of the three artists together is a common grounding in and how they respond to Joburg, where they all share a work and life history.
