Gerard Sekoto was a South African artist and musician. He is recognised as the pioneer of urban black art and social realism. His work was exhibited in Paris, Stockholm, Venice, Washington, and Senegal, as well as in South Africa. Gerard Sekoto had a considerable following of art collectors in South Africa and was a familiar name in the media and in art circles - an astonishing and unusual achievement for a black artist in the Apartheid time in South Africa.
