William Kentridge Prints

This is the first book to focus solely on Kentridge’s
formidable print oeuvre, filling a gap in published work on the artist to
date. It is also the first major publication on Kentridge to be published in
South Africa. The book includes over 180 works and presents the full range
and complexity of Kentridge’s printmaking, from his linocuts of the 1970s to
his recent sophisticated and distinctive Thinking Aloud drypoints created
while he was working on his production of Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute,
that premiered in Brussels in April 2005.

The book includes an introduction by David Krut, an essay by the
award-winning poet, critic, and translator Susan Stewart, Professor
of English at Princeton University, and a series of rare personal
commentaries by Kentridge that give wonderful insight into the ideas and
working methods of an obsessive and highly sophisticated printmaker.
