FNB Top 10

By Lisa Wallace and Eva-Maria Shuman | September 13, 2016 | Category Art

The annual FNB Joburg Art Fair, a definitive highlight on the arts calendar, has come and gone, and without doubt this year’s fair was the most exceptional and inspiring yet. With more works on display than ever before, and featuring 90 exhibitions from local and international galleries, the prolific impulse of the creative showcase was contagious.
