William Kentridge: Catalogue Raisonné Volume 2, Gebunden

Klappentext

In 2019 South African art authority and dedicated researcher Warren Siebrits began compiling a five-volume catalogue raisonné of William Kentridge's prints and posters. The first volume, which focused on graphics produced between 1974 and 1990, was published by Steidl in 2022. Since then Siebrits has worked on the second volume which presents graphics made between 1991 and 2004. Once again perfecting the chronology of these prints has been the primary focus of this volume. Through this process Siebrits has not only documented Kentridge's creative output as a printmaker but has also highlighted his steady trajectory from unknown South African artist to a world-famous artist, filmmaker and theatre director. What Siebrits also draws attention to is the importance of collaboration in Kentridge's practice, as we see him shift from largely self-published printmaking to forging long-lasting interactive relationships with printmaking professionals, many of which endure to this day. The continuation of this chronological documentation of Kentridge's prints and posters is invaluable for those interested in understanding his evolution and influence as a graphic artist.
