press release

William Kentridge Prints, curated by Kay Wilson Jenkins, curator of the collection, presents 120 of over 300 prints created by Kentridge, dating from the early 1976 Muizenberg Beach linocuts to his 2004 Learning the Flute and Learning the Flute (reverse). William Kentridge (b. 1955, Johannesburg) is one of the most significant and internationally renowned artists of our time. He has always addressed the more challenging and intimate aspects of contemporary life and of South Africa, both during Apartheid and in the post-Apartheid period. His work in every media often involves erasing, recreating, and reworking an image many times in a metaphorical search for identity in changing contexts.
