Gottgens was the only South African to be included in Thames and Hudson’s publication, 100 Painters of Tomorrow in 2014, and, in 2015, SMAC Gallery published Kate Gottgens // Paintings 2007–2015 to coincide with her review exhibition, Infinite Loop in Stellenbosch, South Africa. International art fairs include Miart in Milan, Italy, and SCOPE FAIR in Miami Beach, USA, both in 2014.
