Synopsis
This, the first major monograph on the widely acclaimed South African artist William Kentridge, brings together nearly two hundred of his works made between 1989 and 2012. Exploring Kentridge's diverse expressions across a wide range of media, from film and video to sculpture, design, drawing, and printmaking, the book is lavishly illustrated with more than 2,000 images. It reveals Kentridge's love of contradiction and uncertainty, his work moving variously between the personal and political, the static and temporal, the humorous and profound, the real and metaphorical, and between acts of making and of disassembling or erasure. Kentridge's dynamic way of working in his Johannesburg studio is revealed, a creative process that can be described as an act of performance during which he searches for forms of expression for his powerful and poetic ideas. His own lively commentaries accompany his works, offering indispensable insights into his working methods and creative thinking. Essays by Lilian Tone and Kate McCrickard put his practice into wider context, investigating the conceptual and visual tendencies in Kentridge's work, and the relationship between his art and his native South Africa., This is the most complete monograph yet published on the internationally acclaimed South African artist William Kentridge. Bringing together nearly two hundred of his works made between 1989 and the present day, the book explores Kentridge's work across a wide range of media, including film, video, sculpture, design, drawing and printmaking. Two essays discuss the development of Kentridge's art and his unique creative process, and a large body of Kentridge's own writings help to illuminate the origins of and inspiration behind his work, including the idea of 'fortuna', Kentridge's description of his practice as one governed by 'neither programme nor chance in the making of images'., A rich and compelling survey of one of the most significant artists at work today, supplemented by a chronology that includes Kentridge's key solo and group exhibitions as well as his film and theatrical performances

Reviews
This first major monograph on the widely acclaimed South African artist William Kentridge brings together nearly 200 of his works made between 1989 and 2012., One of the most tough-minded and poetic artists of our time, Kentridge is well served by this handsome summary of his work to date., Tone brings together the subtext behind the approximately 200 pieces depicted in the exhibition, describing Kentridge's artistic process and personal history., Fortuna . . . takes a determinedly artist-focused approach. Featuring a number of insightful commentaries by Kentridge . . . the book is organized around his intuitive studio method of 'directed' discovery or 'fortuna'., Kentridge is a bottomless well of philosophical speculation and image creation whose commentaries provide a primer on how one of the most significant artists alive conceives and creates.

- t***l (501)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat seller! Fast shipping! Well packaged! Good communication and the item was exactly as listed! A pleasure to do business with! Thank you!
- 1***l (127)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem came exactly as the photos were shown. Seller was kind to give me an offer for the item, but I wasn't able to accept it just yet, but when I had the chance to buy this, I sent the same offer the seller offered, and he/she was cool to accept it. Item was packaged very nicely and even bubble-wrapped. This was a great find, and as a sucker for all things history and dictionaries, this was a good find. A good seller too.
- y***y (313)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAs described, well packed, shipping was very slow, seller did not even ship the book until the day before the latest estimated arrival date. And I think the only reason they shipped when they did was because I inquired whether they had shipped. 4 hours AFTER my inquiry, the book was shipped! I still gave positive feedback because the book WAS as described and carefully packed for shipping.
