Hoffman Collection

Between 2011 and 2024, Dr Bruce Hoffman, an eleventh-generation South African living in Calgary, gathered one of the largest private collections of South African art: more than 3,000 works, from San rock-art traditions to the modern masters. The Hoffman Collection app opens that collection to everyone. BROWSE THE COLLECTION Every available work with large photographs, the artist, medium, size and year, set out like a museum label. Search by artist, title or medium, or browse by artist. SEE IT ON YOUR WALL Photograph a wall at home. "In your space" hangs real works from the collection on it, at their true size, in perspective and in your room's own light, and picks the ten that suit your room's colours. Drag to move a piece, pinch to resize it, and share the picture. THE STORY BEHIND IT Read Bruce's own account of why he collected: the crates unpacked in a Calgary garage three times a year, the artists who became "companions to my self-imposed exile", and the works that tell the story best.
