A farmer’s son with his nursemaid, Heimweeberg, Nietverdiend, 1964
Photographer David Goldblatt has explored the social landscape of South Africa since the late 1940s. In 1987, he generously donated a large collection of his work to the V&A. The display will present a selection of these images, focussing on the later years under apartheid rule. The display complements the exhibition Figures and Fictions: Contemporary South African Photography in the Porter Gallery.
