The exhibition Art Against Apartheid was curated during the apartheid years by French artist and curator Ernest Pignon-Ernest who assembled some of the most famous international artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Claus Oldenburg, Christian Boltanski to make work for this collection.

The collection was given to South Africa in 1996 where it has since been housed in Parliament. The exhibition will be coming to Durban in September, the first showing in a gallery in this country.

The artist, Ernest Pignon-Ernest will be visiting Durban this week and will give a slide talk on his work at the Durban Art Gallery on Thursday (June 21) at 19h30. Entrance free.
