Lucy is a pioneering art curator, and co-founder of Latitudes Art Fair and Latitudes Online – a virtual marketplace created to provide a curated selection of artworks for collectors with an interest in art from Africa.
Both are the first of their kind to take a lateral and flexible approach to mediating African art, according to which galleries, independent artists, curators, online entities, and institutions experience equitable participation
With a Master of Fine Art from Wits University, Lucy’s curation of The South African Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017 was critically acclaimed as a “must see” pavilion by numerous media amongst others Artsy, The New Yorker, The Guardian, Le Monde, The Art Newspaper, The Telegraph, Architectural Digest and Spiegel.
From 2014-16 she was curator of the FNB Joburg Art Fair. Alongside this, she curated the first TEDx talks event to focus on contemporary African art. She’s managed the corporate collections of Spier Wine Estate, Hollard Insurance and Nando’s Global.
And in between, founded her own company L’MAD Collection, which creates limited edition collections to promote local artists and designers.
