William Kentridge

Born in Johannesburg in 1955, William Kentridge is a prominent contemporary artist. He works in and across the mediums of drawing, writing, film, performance, music and collaborative practices, to create art that is grounded in politics, science, literature and history, while maintaining a space for contradiction and uncertainty. Kentridge’s work has been seen in museums, galleries, theatres and opera houses internationally since the 1990s, and is held in many major museums and institutions. He is the recipient of honorary doctorates from several universities including Yale and the University of London; his prizes include the Kyoto Prize (2010), the Princess of Asturias Award (2017) and the Praemium Imperiale Prize (2019). Steidl has published Kentridge’s Domestic Scenes (2021) and Catalogue Raisonné Volume 1. Prints and Posters 1974–1990 (2022).
