History

Founded during apartheid, the gallery opened with a show of 30 artists, mostly leading European modernists. It remained a "resolutely non-discriminatory space", protecting its artists and freedom of expression during the political tumult.[1]

Goodman Gallery focuses on collaborating with southern African artists, both established and emerging; those from the greater African continent; and international artists who engage with the African context.[3] South African artists such as David Koloane, David Goldblatt, Sue Williamson and Sam Nhlengethwa have exhibited there.[4]

In 2008, Liza Essers purchased the gallery.[5]

In 2012, South Africa's governing party, the African National Congress, went to court to try to force Goodman Gallery to remove The Spear, a painting by Brett Murray that appeared to depict South Africa's president Jacob Zuma with his genitals exposed.[6] On the morning of 22 May 2012, two men entered the gallery during visiting hours and defaced the painting—first by painting a red cross over the depiction of Zuma's face and genitals and then by smearing black paint over the canvas. The two—Barend la Grange and Lowie Mabokela[7]—were arrested. In exchange for the ANC's agreeing to drop a lawsuit, the gallery agreed to remove the work from the exhibition.[8]

In 2016, Goodman Gallery was named one of 500 best galleries worldwide by Modern Painters.[9] It also celebrated its 50th anniversary the same year with the two-part curatorial mission, In Context, co-curated by Essers and artist Hank Willis Thomas that explored notions of African identity in both the United States and Africa.[3] The gallery hosted the seventh international conference on African and African American art, Black Portraiture[s] III: Reinventions, Strains of Histories and Culture.[1]

Also in 2016, Goodman Gallery signed a permanent lease for Pollen Estate in London.
