Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: Kyle Kauffman Gallery (355 West 39th Street)
Cost: Free

Summer Show features several large-scale, large-editioned prints by world acclaimed South African artist William Kentridge. Focusing on a body of Kentridge’s work rarely seen in the United States, the majority of the pieces were published in South Africa or Europe, and include a number of recent works created in 2007 - 2008. Printed to coincide with major exhibitions of his work, these prints integrate iconic images, such as maps and books, or those from his recent operatic endeavors, like rhinoceroses and noses. Thus, together they operate as a comprehensive survey of the past decade of Kentridge’s diverse aesthetics, techniques, media, and formal and thematic concerns. Often incorporating text, they sometimes functioned as advertising vehicles for the exhibitions or performances.
