Paintings and Prints for Doctors and Dentists - Anton Kannemeyer

The humorous origins of this show lie in a suggestion by Kannemeyer's doctor that the artist no longer pay him in cash but give him art in exchange for his services. But whenever Kannemeyer put forward a work in payment, the doctor had to 'run it by his wife' who invariably thought the piece was inappropriate for their home. When Kannemeyer's dentist made the same suggestion, the artist decided it was time for an exhibition of works that 'doctors and dentists' might actually want to hang in their houses.
