WHO WE ARE:
INSIDE WORLDART GALLERY
WORLDART, 68 LONG STREET, CAPE TOWN.
CONTEMPORARY PAINTING FROM CAPE TOWN FOR INTERNATIONAL COLLECTORS OF ART
WORLDART is a Cape Town–based art gallery specialising in contemporary painting by South African artists, presented for collectors who value visual strength, material confidence and long-term liveability.
Founded in 2004, this gallery works at the intersection of serious aesthetics and practical collecting—placing works in private homes and collections across South Africa, Europe, the UK and the United States. Over the past two decades, our dedication has ensured that WORLDART has consistantly featured in articles and posts that listed the top 10 art galleries in Cape Town.
WHAT WE DO
We represent and present contemporary painters whose work:
holds its own visually.
reads internationally.
lives well beyond the moment of acquisition.
WHY COLLECTORS WORK WITH WORLDART
1. Painting-first focus
Painting remains the most resilient and liveable medium in the contemporary market. South Africa has a wealth of talent and a healthy art world ecosystem.
2. Price points that move
Our programme sits in a high-liquidity range (approximately USD 3,000–10,000), allowing collectors to acquire confidently and decisively—without speculation theatre.
3. International placement experience
Works are regularly placed with collectors in Germany, the Netherlands, France, the UK, Belgium, Austria, Italy, the USA and South Africa. We have participated in many art fairs internationally in cities that include Miami, London, Sydney and more. Logistics are routine, not experimental.
4. Longevity and trust
Operating continuously since 2004, WORLDART offers collectors continuity, accountability, and follow-through—qualities that matter long after the opening night champagne is gone.
WHO OUR COLLECTORS ARE
Our clients are typically:
private collectors building coherent homes and collections.
international buyers seeking strong South African painting without institutional friction.
repeat buyers who value clarity, responsiveness and honest guidance.
HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT
WORLDART sits outside the blue-chip institutional pipeline and well above décor-driven retail.
We are not selling cultural credentials.
We are selling excellent paintings that people want to live with.
That distinction is the business model.
WHY BUY NOW
The strongest contemporary painters are still underpriced relative to international peers.
Paintings with material authority and aesthetic confidence outperform trend-driven work over time.
Our programme prioritizes artists at moments of real momentum, not theoretical promise.
