PANEL DISCUSSION & WALKABOUT: Prof Danie Joubert Collection
Professor Joubert played a leading role in the expansion of the art collection of the University, adding no fewer than 200 artworks to its holdings. He initiated more than 25 exhibitions on campus by such well-known artists as Enslin du Plessis, Christo Coetzee and Jack Lugg, converting spaces in the Ou Lettere Gebou (the Arts Building) and in the old Merensky Library into exhibition halls. He founded the Van Wouw House, adding to the University’s collection of Anton van Wouw sculptures by buying casts from Sotheby’s Auctioneers where he met the legendary Stephan Welz. He penned numerous publications on South African art, including Anton van Wouw en die Van Wouw-huis, Gregoire Boonzaier: Boomstudies, Erich Mayer, and Zakkie Eloff. He was instrumental in the Edoardo Villa sculpture bequeath to the University and founded the art archive there with documents donated by such artists as Bette Cilliers-Barnard, Coert Steynberg and Laurika Postma.
