WHY COLLECT? NEW ACQUISITIONS MADE BY THE IZIKO ART DEPARTMENT,
2005–2006
Using the acquisitions made by the Iziko Art Collections Department
over 2005 and 2006, this exhibition highlights and reveals the manner
in which Iziko has continued to add to its holdings despite the
adverse financial circumstances affecting the development of its
collections. A great debt is owed to those benefactors and donors who
have supported us in holding fast to this important aim. Highlighted
here is an important donation received from the former management of
the V&A Waterfront, which, together with the Western Cape Provincial
Government, sponsored a project to erect a monument to South Africa’s
four Nobel Peace Prize laureates - Chief Albert Luthuli, Archbishop
Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela and F.W. de Klerk. These maquettes by
Noria Mabasa are an important addition to our collection of her work.
