Rupert Museum Saturday May 25 gives you the opportunity to view the second rotation of The Art Collection of Huberte Rupert, but it has also lined up some fun events for the family. See Full Programme below.
The second rotation in this 9-month exhibition showcases the ‘Big Five’ in conversation with works acquired from the Award Winners of the Cape Town Triennials (1982–1991), a sponsorship to the arts set out by the Rembrandt van Rijn Art Foundation. The works by Julia Beeton (b1955), Helmut Starcke (1935-2017), Sandra Kriel (b1952), Ada van der Vijver (1947-2018), Keith Dietrich (b1950) and Walter Oltmann (b1960) set the scene as a start to the conversation. These iconic, standalone pieces chronicle the journey of our patron family’s unique style of collecting.
