My recent visit to FNB Art Joburg, which is Africas leading and longest-running contemporary art fair, was more than just a casual stroll through curated masterpieces.
Accompanied by one of my closest friends, Lisa, the experience turned into a reflective exploration of the ever-evolving art landscape in Africa.
We found ourselves immersed in a world where creativity and entrepreneurship blend seamlessly, showcasing the power of art to not only provoke thought but serve as a commercial and cultural force.
In recent years, the global art market has seen a surge in interest in African art, with the continent's artists gaining recognition on the world stage.
According to the ArtTactic 2022 African Art Market Report, African art sales reached approximately $225 million that year, demonstrating a growing appetite for African creativity among international collectors.
