About the Item

This is a monochromatic photogravure, aquatint and drypoint on Hahnemuhle Copperplate warm white paper. Created in 2010, it is signed in pencil lower right and numbered from the edition of 70. The image dimensions are 10 5/8 by 16 5/8 inches. The sheet size is 16 3/4 x 22 7/8 inches. Published by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Inc., New York *Please note: The frame is for reference purposes only. The impression is not framed. 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 SELECTED PUBLIC COLLECTIONS Art Institute of Chicago, IL Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, Paris, France Museu d´Art Contemporani de Barcelona - MACBA, Barcelona, Spain Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA Solomon R.
