Founded in Johannesburg in 1966, and purchased by Essers in 2008, Goodman Gallery is a powerhouse of Africa’s art scene. Now with additional sites in Cape Town, London and, since last year, New York, it represents some of the continent’s biggest names, El Anatsui, Nicholas Hlobo and William Kentridge included. In March Essers supported a show of Lindokuhle Sobekwa’s photographs at the Johannesburg Art Gallery; while the Cape Town space held exhibitions for multimedia artists Mikhael Subotzky and Alfredo Jaar. The London gallery opened a survey of the late painter Atta Kwami, which moved to the New York space, complementing its inaugural full year of programming, featuring Misheck Masamvu, Zineb Sedira and Kapwani Kiwanga, among others. Meanwhile, visitors to the Cheetah Plains luxury safari lodge on the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve may have gone for the lions and leopards, but could stay for the art: in January it opened a private art gallery in partnership with Goodman Gallery, to the delight of its the wildlife-hungry holidaymakers.
