La Motte is very excited to announce the new contemporary exhibition in the La Motte Museum to be a selection of the very well-known and often-debated Cape Town Triennials, the most ambitious exhibition of contemporary South African art for its time, from 1982 to 1992.

In 1981, the Rembrandt van Rijn Art Foundation, working in association with the Art Museums of South Africa, undertook sponsorship of a competition to encourage artists to extend themselves; and to select from entries submitted throughout the country a collection that would represent the finest of works.

From the start, the Rembrandt van Rijn Art Foundation acquired the prize-winning works of the Triennials exhibitions. It is a selection of these works that will be on display in the La Motte Museum for the next year.
