The Sanlam Art Collection came into being on 9 March 1965 when the Sanlam Board approved the acquisition of 12 paintings by well-known artists for the production of a prestige calendar in the coming year. The collection has grown considerably since and has proved to be a good investment, with the current valuation of the collection exceeding twenty times what it has cost to acquire.
The collection is seen not only in Sanlam offices but also in touring exhibitions across South Africa. Sanlam continues to acquire significant images by established and emerging artists in South Africa and with this Centennial exhibition reaffirms its commitment to supporting the visual arts for generations to come.
Interiority Exhibition at the Sanlam Gallery Belville
A selection of works from the Sanlam Art Collection focusing on the theme of “interiority”. Interiority refers to the inner pyshic life experienced by the viewer when contemplating the images. This selection of works presents the viewer with a diversity of images to contemplate.
