Description

The catalogue raisonné of Kentridge's works in all media from 1962 (the year he turned 7) to 1971 (the year he turned 16). 120 pp. Scholarly introduction and 53 works (all unknown to scholarship until now) beautifully reproduced as full-page plates and exhaustively described.

From the front flap: "This book is the first catalogue raisonné of any part of William Kentridge's oeuvre; the first catalogue raisonné devoted exclusively to the juvenilia of a major artist; and quite possibly the first catalogue raisonné of the work of a living artist published without that artist's cooperation or approval."
