In the main section, Goodman Gallery exhibited a selection of roster artists including international powerhouses like William Kentridge and Yinka Shonibare alongside Kudzanai Chiurai and Gabrielle Goliath, who will both feature in this year’s Venice Biennale. On par with the gallery’s intergenerational presentation, prices for works sold on the first day ranged broadly from $12,000 to $275,000.

Goodman is also showing in a section of the fair called “Tomorrows/Today,” which speculates on “tomorrow’s leading names,” per the fair’s description. The gallery introduces the subtly documentarian photographs of Lindokuhle Sobekwa ahead of his first institutional show at the Johannesburg Art Gallery this September.

“Sobekwa’s imagery has a delicate yet powerful quality that draws viewers into the stories he articulates. He is definitely an artist we are excited to support,” said Olivia Leahy, Goodman Gallery’s head of curatorial.
