publication · 2026-04-22

Artcritical has introduced a new "HUBS" category featuring artists discussed multiple times on the platform, with William Kentridge as a prominent subject. The South African artist, born in 1955 in Johannesburg where he continues to live and work, has been extensively covered by numerous artcritical writers over more than a decade. Critical commentary on Kentridge's work spans from 2001 to 2013, with contributors including Eric Gelber, Amber Ladd, John Goodrich, David Cohen, David Brody, Anne Sassoon, David Plante, Rosalind E. Krauss, and David Carrier. In February 2008, The Review Panel featured James Gardner, Barry Schwabsky, and Robert Storr discussing Kentridge's work with David Cohen. Additional information about the artist is available through Marian Goodman Gallery, which represents him. The hub provides a full index entry for "Kentridge" on artcritical, consolidating years of critical analysis into a single resource for researchers and enthusiasts.
