""Scandal, politics and budgetary challenges are a few of the issues covered in this, the first book-length history of South Africa's National Gallery. It brings to life the arguments and battles over what should and should not be exhibited."" --Karen Watkins, constantiabergbulletin.co.za ""This first book-length history of the South African National Gallery provides an understanding and appreciation of its art collections. Within the historical narrative run two motifs: perennial, lacklustre, state funding and the evolving classificatory boundaries of an art collection."" --Struan Douglas, BusinessDay
