He is renowned for his unique charcoal drawing animations, sculptures, drawings and theatre productions, but what this book focuses on is Kentridge's longstanding relationships with printmaking and poster design. Over the past three years South Aftrican art authority and dedicated researcher Warren Siebrits began compiling a five volume catalogue raisonné of Kentridge's prints and posters. In this first book, focusing on graphics produced between 1974 and 1990, Siebrits presents the artist's earliest forays into linocut, etching and monotype printing, to name but a few. While for many artists printmaking is informed by their work in what have historically been considered more valuable media such as painting and drawing, Siebrits highlights that Kentridge's process has been quite the opposite. This intensive look at Kentridge first and foremost as a printmaker is thus crucial for a comprehensive understanding of his diverse and influential oeuvre. The chronology of the prints and posters helps re-establish many lost and obscure tributaries that will be invaluable to those interested in the building blocks of Kentridge's work.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742522646801,"sku":"NGR9783969991435","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51063621452049,"sku":"NIN9783969991435","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3969991439.jpg?v=1751432406"},{"product_id":"william-kentridge-carlton-centre-games-arcade-book-warren-siebrits-9783969992449","title":"William Kentridge: Carlton Centre Games Arcade","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eI spent weeks in the basement of the Carlton Centre.

The Carlton Centre in Johannesburg, owned by the mining company Anglo American, was the most expensive and prestigious hotel and shopping complex on the African continent at the time, and was just a short walk from Kentridge's father's legal practice. It is then no surprise that this complex was where he decided to begin the process of observational drawing which would lead to Kentridge's first prolonged engagement with intaglio printing. Not only is this book an opportunity for all Kentridge enthusiasts to catch a glimpse of this never before exhibited and little-known early series of 14 etchings, but it also gives the reader a further taste of the ongoing catalogue raisonné project.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Features four cover options, orders will be selected at random.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51631502655761,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51631502917905,"sku":"NIN9783969992449","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51632284533009,"sku":"NGR9783969992449","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3969992443.jpg?v=1761819006"},{"product_id":"william-kentridge-muizenberg-book-warren-siebrits-9783969995198","title":"William Kentridge: Muizenberg","description":"\u003cp\u003eWilliam Kentridge's \u003ci\u003eMuizenberg\u003c\/i\u003e is the fourth in a series of Steidl publications which form part of the wider William Kentridge catalogue raisonné of prints and posters, authored and researched by Warren Siebrits, and ongoing since 2020.

These are the proverbial frogs in the pot, seemingly oblivious to the devastating effects of the apartheid system. The book includes all twelve plates in the Muizenberg series as well as a revelatory sketchbook from Kentridge's archive, documenting his preparatory drawings for the prints. Each final plate state is accompanied by commentary from Kentridge, who shares his working methods as well as personal memories of the prints' subjects and creation. Also included is an interview between Kentridge and longtime friend Timothy James, exploring the making of these prints which shaped many later works.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMuizenberg\u003c\/i\u003e features five cover variations, each with a different tipped-in image from the series.
