Goodman Gallery Johannesburg

163 Jan Smuts Ave, Parkwood, Johannesburg, 2193

Contemporary art gallery known for confronting apartheid-era censorship and later political scandal.

This guide to Goodman Gallery Johannesburg opens in 2012, when two men walked in and defaced Brett Murray's satirical portrait of President Jacob Zuma. It traces the gallery back to 1966, when Linda Givon opened it in defiance of apartheid segregation, and the black artists she represented who sometimes had to pose as waiters to avoid arrest at their own openings. Liza Essers, who bought the gallery from Givon in 2008, now runs the space you're standing in.
