After a decade of studying the exhibition practices of Africa’s top 20 curators, Cape Town-based art research consultancy Corrigall & Co recently released its list of Africa’s top 50 artists. the_rantingpony takes a look
The value of art is often in the eye of the beholder, but sometimes it’s also determined by how many times it’s exhibited, where and by whom. Corrigall & Co, a Cape Town consultancy, has put together a list of African artists who are the most “validated” within the industry. This doesn’t necessarily refer to the price their work brings in, but how popular each artist is among curators.
“Validation is vital in the realm of art, given that its value, whether fiscal or cultural, relies on such uncertain qualities, such as individual taste, perception, fashion and insider or specialist knowledge. Revealing the consensus on the most important artists by Africa’s most recognised curators offers some solid opinion in the sea of uncertainty that swirls around the continent’s nascent art ecosystems,” says the consultancy’s press release.
