Welcome to the Standard Bank Gallery
The dynamic exhibition programme is in keeping with the Standard Bank’s aim of promoting South African art and supporting cultural development.

Popular events include exhibitions by key contemporary artists such as Karel Nel, Johannes Phokela, Willem Boshoff and Marlene Dumas, the annual exhibition by the Standard Bank Young Artist Award winner, and exhibitions by masters such as Irma Stern, Gerard Sekoto and Alexis Preller.

In 2000 the first show in South Africa of original works by a 20th century European artist was the Marc Chagall exhibition, followed by Miro in 2002 and the ground-breaking Picasso and Africa in 2006.

Ephraim Ngatane
Soweto Symphony
Standard Bank Gallery, Johannesburg,
10 February – 13 March 2010

Cecil Skotnes said that Ngatane “put his thumbprint on the history of South African art”. In the course of his short-lived but illustrious career, Ngatane made a marked impression on the art of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, creating artworks that captured the essence of township living and conveyed emotion and depth.
