Lutyens in South Africa

Panelist(s): Anthony “Ankie” Barnes, Mervyn Miller, Martin Lutyens

A discussion and history of Edwin Lutyens’s work in South Africa.

Edwin Lutyens came to South Africa following the footsteps of his then close friend, Herbert Baker. Designed before their work together in Delhi, Lutyens’s designs for the Johannesburg Art Gallery and the Rand Regiments Memorial provide interesting insight into the evolution of Lutyens’s body of work.
