Tatham Art Gallery Articles
A variety of texts have been produced by or for the Tatham Art Gallery. These articles provide a historical and contemporary perspective on the Gallery and the visual arts in KwaZulu-Natal.
Edendale Excels booklet
Edendale Excels, an exhibition to celebrate four artists from Edendale, near Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal, shows some changes and developments in South African art. This introduction is an attempt at making learners aware of the diversity of issues tackled by these artists. The inclusion of Bhengu and Zondi in the academic syllabus demonstrates the value of their contribution to the changing South African Visual Arts Studies.
