WILLIAM KENTRIDGE
Making Prints: Selected Editions 1998–2020
16 March – 17 April 2021
Marian Goodman Gallery New York is delighted to present a selection of print works by #williamkentridge from over two decades, which will be shown in our Third Floor Gallery from 16 March – 17 April 17 2021.
Kentridge’s engagement with printmaking has been integral to his artistic practice and spans his entire career. He has experimented with a broad range of media, from etching to lithography, aquatint, drypoint, photogravure and woodcut, for over two and a half decades. The exhibition’s selection of prints, from 1998 until now, was chosen by Kentridge and includes themes and media that feel particularly enduring and relevant to the artist. In this exhibition, several subjects emerge: sketches that explore a universal archive of ideas; procession, migration and exodus; how history is written; nature and landscape as memory; uses of the absurd, and more. Kentridge began printmaking as a student of art and politics at the University of the Witwatersrand in #johannesburg in the early to mid-1970’s, making screen-printed posters for trade unions, student protests and theater companies, which then led to teaching etching at the #johannesburg Art Foundation from 1976-1978. From that time onward, printmaking’s legacy as a democratic art object and vehicle for satire and social change–from Callot to Hogarth to Goya–is as intrinsic to its own history as it is to Kentridge’s. As a South African coming of age under apartheid, he identified a need for expression and experimentation, drawn to the traditions of Beckmann, Dix, Kollwitz, late Dürer and others. Marking or inking, incision and refinement of line, duration and process—the temporal aspect of creating a body of work around layers of a subject —are aspects that allow him to return again and again to printmaking.
