Head-Image
Goodman Gallery presents a focused presentation at the 2026 Investec Cape Town Art Fair, bringing together landmark works by internationally recognised artists alongside emerging and independent voices supported through the gallery’s Working Title programme. The booth reflects the gallery’s long-standing commitment to artistic experimentation, material inquiry, and the development of local artistic infrastructure within new contexts.
Among the highlights are works by William Kentridge, Yinka Shonibare, and Leonardo Drew, whose practices treat material as both structure and carrier of meaning. Kentridge presents Remove Not the Old Landmark (Paravent) (2026), a five-panel folding screen that extends his engagement with the paravent as a spatial and narrative device, following his inclusion in Paraventi: Folding Screens from the 17th to 21st Century at Fondazione Prada (2023).

Shonibare’s African Flower Magic (Aloe Erinacea) (2025) draws on quiltmaking traditions and Dutch wax fabric to frame botanical imagery as a site of colonial history and cultural entanglement. Drew’s Number 255D (2020) exemplifies his distinctive abstract language, articulated through layered, weathered surfaces that negotiate tensions between order, entropy, and historical inscription.

Also featured is Nolan Dennis’s biko.nomzamo (2024), an installation in which receipt printers emit an imagined dialogue between Steve Biko and Winnie Nomzamo Mandela on the notion of love. Generated through an algorithm trained on their writings, the work frames speculative conversation as a political gesture, centering radical love, understood as care, responsibility, and collective holding, as foundational to decolonial thought and Black liberation. The presentation is anchored by iconic historical works by David Goldblatt.
