Heidi Erdmann launched thePHOTOGRAPHERSgalleryZA in 2001 to create a platform for new innovations in contemporary South African photography.
The focus was to uncover talents working in new styles and pushing the boundaries of the medium of photography.
thePHOTOGRAPHERSgalleryZA has hosted several international exhibitions,including solo exhibitions for Nicola Samori, Greta Frau, Nicola Vinci, Laurina Paperina and Joke van Katwijk.
thePHOTOGRAPHERSgalleryZA is a niche gallery, focussing on mid career artists and promoting limited edition print sales. The gallery also handles rare and first edition photographic books.
ERDMANNCONTEMPORARY was launched in 1999 to promote contemporary comic art. In addition to comic art the gallery also represents a small and select group of painters, sculptors and printmakers.
The gallery space was opened at the beginning of 2004 and remains dedicated to the promotion of artists working in these particular genres.
ERDMANNCONTEMPORARY has working relationships with several European based galleries.
