About the Sanlam Art Collection
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 exhibition celebrating the contribution of women reaffirms its commitment to supporting the visual arts for generations to come.
Her… is a wonderful opportunity for viewing this focused selection of works. You can book an appointment to have a conducted tour of the exhibition with the option of also seeing a selection of the works in storage.
