William Kentridge: Entirely Not So - Prints from 2003 to 2016
After his first show here, Tapestries (2015), Kewenig is very pleased to present William Kentridge鈥檚 second exhibition at the gallery in Berlin. ENTIRELY NOT SO concentrates on Kentridge鈥檚 prints from the years 2003 to 2016. His mastery of this medium has already been seen in the show Double Vision at the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin, which positioned his work in a dialogue with prints by Albrecht D眉rer. The current exhibition at Kewenig will open at nearly the same time as NO IT IS!, Kentridge鈥檚 show at the Martin Gropius Bau and an eponymous program of performances, theater, and lectures at the house of the Berliner Festspiele.
In ENTIRELY NOT SO Kewenig will present large lithographs, etchings, linocuts, and serigraphs featuring major motifs from Kentridge鈥檚 oeuvre of the last fourteen years. The exhibition pays tribute to the medium of paper as it is used in Kentridge鈥檚 work, since the artist鈥檚 images begin with pencil, brush, or chalk on white or pre-printed paper. Kentridge鈥檚 approach to all of his materials is open to randomness. For instance, he鈥檒l occasionally realize his designs on paper for woodcuts or etchings in other materials, returning to the original medium at the end via the process of printing on paper.
