SIR ABE BAILEY REQUEST
Numbering over 400 items including paintings, prints and drawings,
the Sir Abe Bailey Bequest is the largest bequest held at the SA
National Gallery to this day. It also constitutes one of the largest
collections of British sporting art held by any public art museum in
the world. The Sir Abe Bailey Trust has remained actively involved in
its maintenance, and in more recent years has made substantial
contributions to ongoing conservation work on the collection. This
provides funding for the conservation work to be carried out on the
paintings, frames and work on paper.

BEADWORK - RADICAL PRACTICES: BEADING PRACTICES OF YUKON FIRST NATIONS (CANADA) AND THE NDEBELE (SOUTH AFRICA)
Beadwork – Radical Practices presents historical and contemporary work from the Iziko South African National Gallery, Cape Town, South Africa; historical work from the MacBride Museum and contemporary work from the Yukon Territorial Government Permanent Art Collection, both located in Whitehorse, Yukon.
This exhibition investigates the cultural similarities and differences of these indigenous communities in an attempt to understand the complex stories and histories that are contained within each of the beading practices. It explores diverse forms of cultural production which combine materials and techniques into products of innovative design and aesthetic beauty.
Through the juxtaposition of Yukon and Ndebele beadwork, this exhibition presents the beauty, diversity, old traditions, new adaptations, missing histories and collected memories of the two cultures.
