Following the successful launch of the Ichikowitz Heritage Art Collection in Alexandra during Johannesburg Art Week, The Ichikowitz Family Foundation now brings ART CROSSES BORDERS – CONVERSATIONS from Alexandra to the renowned Constitution Hill. This exhibition features new, unseen pieces not yet revealed to the public and travels to its new home at The Old Fort, Constitution Hill Precinct for audiences to experience from 29 October to 15 November 2015, entrance free of charge.
There are no absolute heroes and no absolute villains. These words seem fitting in respect of Ivor Ichikowitz, a crusader for the arts whose day job is selling armaments.
People involved in the business of war are typically characterised as the antagonist in an action movie, and in some people’s view Ichikowitz might be exactly that, but his passion for art and for reconciliation in South Africa might cast him in an altogether different light.
