Robin Rhode stands as one of South Africa’s recent successful art exports. He is the winner of
the 2007 Illy Prize at Art Brussels, the 2006 W South Beach Commission, Art Positions
at Art Basel Miami Beach and the Ars Viva 05/06 Identity Award, Berlin, Germany.
Robin Rhode is represented by the Perry Rubenstein gallery in New York.

Since its establishment in 1997, the gordonschachatcollection has dedicated itself to the support of
South African art and artists. Having acquired a significant modern collection of masterworks by
20th century South African artists, the collection is also positioned to support the artistic vision
of a select number of individual contemporary artists by providing in-depth presentations of their work.
A complementary objective of the gordonschachatcollection is to exhibit works by contemporary artists,
as envisaged by the artists, through the facilitation of collaborative projects such as the Robin Rhode project
for the 2008 Joburg Art Fair.
