EVERARD READ GALLERY
At Leeu Estates
Everard Read’s newest gallery at Leeu Estates augments the existing gallery in the high street of Franschhoek. The focus is on showing monumental sculpture in the breathtaking fynbos and vineyards of Leeu Estates, as well as exhibiting important works by its artists in the purpose-built gallery on site. The Fynbosch quarter, where the new gallery is located on the farm, was designed by DHK architects, who also designed the Norval Foundation in Steenberg. The gallery benefits from their experience garnered there, with understated but immaculate finishes that show the art to its best advantage, while offering glimpses of the spectacular natural environment that surrounds Leeu Estates.
The gallery complex includes a studio and cottage for an artist residency programme which will provide a tranquil retreat for artists to focus on developing new ideas and generate interesting content for the gallery.
