The Standard Bank Corporate Art Collection stands as one of the country’s most distinguished and comprehensive collections of its kind. Collectively, these artworks communicate the observations, aspirations and concerns of our country’s finest artists, providing a reflection of the physical, social and cultural fabric of South Africa in all its intriguing complexity. This exhibition encompasses artworks from the bank’s collection acquired in the 30 years prior to South Africa’s democracy and 30 years post this political and social shift and stands as emblematic of the bank’s extensive mile-stone achievements of supporting the arts spanning over four decades. Framed against this rich legacy, the exhibition showcase works drawn from “the vault”, a departure point employed to encourage a broader conversation around the relevance and significance of private and public collections.
