Iziko National Gallery Hosts: Sue Williamson Retrospective VIP Walkabout with Curator Andrew Lamprecht

The Iziko South African National Gallery is proud to announce that it will be hosting a retrospective exhibition of the work of South African artist, Sue Williamson, opening in February 2025, entitled “There is something I must tell you”.

This will represent the first retrospective by this iconic artist who, over five decades, has made a major impact on the local and international art world.

Williamson has had many solo exhibitions in numerous countries, and been represented on ten biennales, but until now there has never been a retrospective surveying her entire career and showcasing her most important works.

It is indeed fitting that the first retrospective of this artist, designated by the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture as one of the nation’s “Living Legends”, should take place in her home city of Cape Town.

The exhibition opens officially on 22 February 2025 and runs until the end of September.

The Iziko South African National Gallery – the Mother City’s premier public art museum, houses a vast and critically engaging collection of historical, modern and contemporary artworks from South Africa and abroad; and seeks to create frameworks and spaces that are mixed and mobile and that can operate in trans-disciplinary settings.
