One hundred years of collecting: the Johannesburg Art Gallery – edited by Jillian Carman (Design>Magazine, 2010) If the aim of this centenary catalogue is to whet your appetite for art and the wonderful collection that resides in the Johannesburg Art Gallery, then it succeeds admirably. The collection contains work dating from the 16th century to the present, and the catalogue amply represents this rich range of work. The essays that accompany the images are thought-provoking and aim to ground the gallery's place in the city's and the continent's history. The book is a must-own for art lovers – it demonstrates that the gallery is indeed the most outstanding in Africa.
