So too is that of GREGOIRE BOONZAIER AND THE SOUTH AFRICAN ASSOCIATION OF ARTS, who awarded him a medal of honour in 1989. After declining it a decade earlier, THE SOUTH AFRICAN ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES MEDAL OF HONOUR FOR GREGOIRE BOONZAIER was eventually accepted in 1958. Besides the above, HONORARY DOCTORATES BESTOWED ON THE ARTIST GREGOIRE BOONZAIER and SPECIAL MEDALS/PLAQUES AWARDED TO THE ARTIST GREGOIRE BOONZAIER include those of the University of Potchefstroom(1978), the University of the Orange Free State (1980), The University of Pretoria (1985), the FAK(1989), the University of the Western Cape(1994) and the University of Stellenbosch(1997). COMMEMORATIVE
EXHIBITIONS FOR GREGOIRE BOONZAIER at various tertiary institutions and by many of the country’s foremost business enterprises were regular features during the second half of his career. Several of the latter issued luxury calenders of his work, now collectors’ items. He himself held over 100 shows countrywide.

GREGOIRE BOONZAIER AND HIS PROMOTION OF ART ON THE PLATTELAND was a 15-year passionate and selfless mission that had the salutary spin-off of making GREGOIRE BOONZAIER A HOUSEHOLD NAME, later sadly envied by some of the very colleagues whose works also in bold new idiom he especially took pains to advance.

Numerous MAGAZINE ARTICLES ABOUT GREGOIRE BOONZAIER and also BOOKS ABOUT GREGOIRE BOONZAIER are other informative sources of reference and recognition. Essays about GREGOIRE BOONZAIER IN THE LANTERN JOURNAL, a scholarly publication, as well as in Panorama and Ons Kuns, are worth consulting.The artist and his work have also been documented on film several times.
