Soweto Fine Art Gallery was established and founded in 1996 by Martin G Britz. The gallery first opened its doors in the Rosebank Mews, Johannesburg, South Africa trading under the name “Winstons”.

Martin is the author of the ground-breaking publication “South African Fine Art ~ The Soweto School of Art” ISBN 978-1-920668-00-6 and is recognised as the leading global authority and fine art specialist on the works created by the group of 28 black South African fine artists accredited to the “Soweto School of Art”. The “Soweto School of Art” has received international recognition and acknowledgement as the first black “school of art” to emerge from the African continent. Soweto Fine Art Gallery has grown from strength to strength over the past 22 years and is the oldest South African black fine art specialist gallery. The gallery now represents the largest group of contemporary black fine artists active across the Sub-Saharan continent.
