WILLIAM KENTRIDGE – FINALLY MEMORY YIELDS
2021-11-01On the ground floor, three new Indian-ink drawings of trees will be exhibited for the first time: Finally Memory Yields, Not Everywhere But Anywhere and An Argument Mired in Nostalgia are among the largest trees ever created by Kentridge and will be displayed in his forthcoming Royal Academy solo exhibition. The trees within his practice were born of two memories and misassociations; a friend describing creating a Tshirt for a companion, heard by William “as a tree search”; and his father representing Nelson Mandela, Albert Luthuli and others in the South African Treason Trial of 1956-1961, which his son misconstrued as “trees and tiles.”
