William Kentridge. Trace

At once a catalogue and an artist’s book, this publication highlights the Museum’s unparalleled collection of prints and books by William Kentridge—nearly fifty works made over the past three decades—and features a special forty-page project created by the South African artist in response to his printmaking—a central, if underrecognized aspect of his art.\n\nPublished to coincide with the Museum’s presentation of William Kentridge: Five Themes, this volume presents an essay on Kentridge’s printmaking, a beautifully illustrated plate section, a chronology, and a text by the artist that together illuminate the medium’s relevance to his practice. Includes 110 images.
