It's been an exciting year for StateoftheART, both online and in our intimate gallery space in the Cape Town city centre. With bustling First Thursday evenings, solo exhibitions, private sales as well as corporate commissions we've been busy!
In December we added new functionality to our website to give international customers the option of having suitable paintings removed from the frame, rolled and freighted in a sturdy tube instead of crating; a considerable cost saving on large works.
