South African Art Galleries
The visual arts have a rich history in South Africa and South Africa's art galleries as much to offer to its visitors. The South African National Gallery is commonly seen as South Africa's flagship art gallery. The gallery falls under the umbrella of Iziko Museums of Cape Town, as do the historical Michaelis, William Fehr and Natale Labia collections. The National Gallery's permanent collection spans the colonial to the contemporary, with its first works acquired in 1871.
South African universities play an important role in acquiring works of national interest, with substantial collections housed at the Gertrude Posel Gallery at Wits University and the University of South Africa gallery in Pretoria. There are also several corporate collections of national interest, 
including those of Standard and Absa banks and the cellular phone network MTN.
South Africa has a wealth of commercial and non-commercial galleries. Most of these galleries host solo and curated group exhibitions that change regularly, often on a monthly basis. One of the better known gallery is the Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg, run by art dealer Linda Givon, whose stable includes many of the South African artists who are making an impact on the international art scene.
