Standard Bank Art gallery
Our gallery is the only corporate gallery that hosts international arts and drives thought-leadership. It is home to the most comprehensive African Art collection in the country
The Standard Bank Gallery opened its doors to the public on 4 June 1990, quickly establishing itself as one of the city’s premier fine art venues.
Over the years, the gallery has hosted some of the nation’s most coveted exhibitions, featuring works by South African masters such as Irma Stern, the late Gerard Sekoto, and David Koloane. Additionally, it made history by being the first institution to show original works by a 20th-century European artist to South Africa, starting with the Marc Chagall exhibition in 2000, followed by Joan Miro in 2002, the record-breaking Picasso and Africa exhibition in 2006, and Henri Matisse: Rhythm and Meaning in 2016.
In 2023, the Standard Bank Gallery was honoured with the 2023 Experts’ Choice Award, a prestigious accolade bestowed upon it for its excellence. Now in its seventh year, the awards are based on more than one million reviews from travel guides, magazines, newspapers, as well as respected sources like journalists and professional travel writers.
As one of the few non-commercial public spaces for major exhibitions in South Africa, the gallery, along with its extensive educational programmemes, stands as a testament to Standard Bank’s unwavering commitment to cultural development.
