Notes

The Patricia Fine Art Collection, curated by the former Mayor of Cape Town, stands as a testament to a lifetime of discerning patronage and civic devotion. Patricia Fine (née Sulcas Kreiner), who famously welcomed Nelson Mandela to the City Hall balcony in 1994, assembled a collection that mirrors the vibrant, transformative spirit of South Africa’s transition. Featuring significant works by modern and contemporary South African artists, the collection highlights Fine’s deep connection to the Cape’s cultural landscape and her role as an arts benefactor.
