Print dealers in South Africa serve a segment of the general art market. The South African art market is a small but vibrant one. Print dealers can be found in most of the major cities such as Johannesburg, Cape Town and Pretoria.
Print dealers can be divided into two groups in South Africa. The first have established galleries and regularly deal with the general public. The second work as agents and buyers for various corporate and private collectors. Some print dealers are a combination of the two.
