William Kentridge (b. 1955, Johannesburg, South Africa) designed the dramatic sets, created videos and directed the Metropolitan Opera production of Dmitri Shostakovich’s, The Nose. The artist created this limited edition of the same title to commemorate the production for Lincoln Center.
The Shostakovich opera (1930) retells the satirical short story written by Nikolai Gogol in 1836 about an ambitious Russian bureaucrat who wakes to find that his nose has inexplicably left his face and is gallivanting about town dressed as a uniformed gentleman of higher rank than himself. Kentridge draws parallels between the 19th-century societal hierarchies that Gogol satirizes, Stalinist Russia of Shostakovich's time, and the former apartheid system of his own native South Africa. He feels that the problems of the real world are best revealed through the absurd." - Karla Niehus, Assistant Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, Kalamazoo Institute of Arts

William Kentridge
William Kentridge (b. 1955) is an internationally acclaimed South African artist renowned for his dynamic prints, drawings, large-scale installations, and animated films. Kentridge balances universal experiences with the complexity of South African political history and society. Born in Johannesburg to two prominent lawyers active in anti-apartheid efforts, Kentridge’s proximity to the dissolution of apartheid gave him a unique social sensitivity. His upbringing would shape the socio-political lens that informed his work as an artist.

Untitled (SK-PH) by Angel Otero (abstract screen print)
By Angel Otero
Located in New York, NY
Angel Otero is known for oil paintings of bleeding color fields that bunch and crease to create topographic textures. In this visually compelling edition, Untitled (SK-PH), the artist flattened one of his compositions into a digital print, turning his signature folds into trompe l’oeil. Here, they read as intricate line work atop a tumultuous sea of brushed pastels. Inspired by a visit to the Lincoln Center archives, Otero drew a connection between the dramatic flair captured in photographs of operas presented during the 1970s and works from his “Poussin” series. Discussing the characters depicted in Poussin’s paintings, Otero remarked, “they were painted with poses that seemed staged, like a play set...
