Each artist is presented with commentary by one of the writers and reproductions of several works of art. Among the final 100 are the well-known as well as emerging artists, black and white artists, expected names and surprises. The result is not a “top 100 artists,” but an almagamation of fifteen peoples’ opinions about which South African artists should be included. Fifteen writers, curators, and art activists each selected ten artists, and then the back-and-forth negotiations began. This art publishing project was a collaborative and sometimes contentious process: how to choose 100 South African artists. Ten years after the transition to democracy in South Africa, 10 years, 100 artists appeared.
