“Charcoal…became a way of thinking, rather than a physical medium.”
– William Kentridge
 William Kentridge:
Five Themes
July 12–September 27, 2009
William Kentridge: Five Themes features the most comprehensive survey to date of the films, drawings, books, prints, sculptures, and stage designs by this influential contemporary South African artist. The exhibition features the first American presentation and catalogue of the new work Kentridge has created since 2000 that dramatically expands his technical innovations as an artist filmmaker, enlarges the scale of his work in stage design and installation art, and extends his themes beyond the impact of apartheid in South Africa. Organized by San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Norton Museum of Art, the exhibition will also travel to the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
