Welcome to the Standard Bank Corporate Collection

As one of South Africa’s most significant and representative corporate collections, it promotes work by local artists. It includes historically significant works, but in recent years there has been a strong focus on more contemporary artworks.

The collection comprises over 1000 works to date, with the oldest from the 18th century by Jan de Reyniers, depicting Cape Town's Table Bay.

Featured contemporary artists include William Kentridge, Marlene Dumas, Jane Alexander, Sam Nhlengethwa, Zwelethu Mthetwa and many more. Many have won major awards and achieved international acclaim.

In our collection : Willem Boshoff

Willem was born in 1951 in Vanderbijlpark. He studied at the Technikon Witwatersrand and also obtained a teaching qualification.

After teaching for several years Boshoff became a full-time sculptor, painter and graphic artist.

“In August 2006 I visited the site on a number of occasions to get a sense of the scale and presence of the place. At the time the building was half finished, natural stones used in cladding the massive pillars were scattered about and the autumn leaves of a large Pin Oak (Ouercus palustris) blew about in the wind to the refrain of some unruly conductor.
