Director of the FNB Joburg Art Fair Ross Douglas announced at the press launch – recently held at the Saxon Boutique Hotel – that this year sees a strong focus on Nigeria. The aim is to increase the international component of the event, with a specific focus on the pan-African buyers and curators.
This year, 33 galleries will be participating and the fair will host two galleries from Lagos (Omenka and Red Door), in addition to two art platforms (Art Twenty Once and Lagos Photo). “We continue to look for ways for linking the FNB Joburg Art Fair with the established art world in Europe and the US, and the new art world coming out of cities like Lagos,” says Douglas.
