Andrew Clement Verster (South African 1937-) PORTFOLIO OF ELEVEN ETCHINGS portfolio of eleven etchings from drawings made in notebooks between june and october 1985, edition limited to 25 copies; each print signed, dated 86, inscribed with pencil in the margin and impressed with the caversham press chopmark, this set numbered 2/25 etching each sheet size: 35 by 24,5cm Although predominantly known as a painter and writer, Johannesburg-born Andrew Verster has produced a charming set of eleven etchings informed by a past stay at Cite Internationale des Arts, Paris. Cite Internationale des Arts is an acclaimed artist-in-residence program established in 1965, which attracts practicing artists from all over the world. Verster participated in a total of five residencies at the Parisian studios between 1985 and 1995, with the first being awarded by the South African National Association for Visual Arts (SANAVA)1. This portfolio consists of scenes of the artist’s friends and their belongings, as well as portraits of well-known artists and writers, such as Pablo Picasso and Oscar Wilde. The prints feature monochrome linework that denotes a simplistic elegance, reminiscent of Henri Matisse. The works are printed on ivory Fabriano Rosapina paper, and published by Caversham Press in Howick, KwaZulu Natal. Verster’s work has appeared in multiple exhibitions across the world, including London, Hong Kong and Germany. He has also been awarded two retrospectives at the Durban Art Gallery, cementing his position as a key figure in the South African art scene2. 1 Cite Internationale des Artes, correspondence, April 30, 2019. 2 Kwazulu Natal Society of Arts, “Andrew Versterâ€- LD

William Kentridge (South African 1955-) WOMAN IN SWIMSUIT from DOMESTIC SCENES series signed, dated '79 and editioned AP soft ground etching sheet size: 25 by 20cm This particular work is an artist proof from William Kentridge’s Domestic Scenes series (1979 - 80), which was based on two collaborative theatre productions of which the artist was part, namely ‘Security’ (1979) and ‘Dikhitsheneng’ (1980)1. The latter translates to, “in the kitchensâ€, from which Kentridge has conceptualised scenes featuring rotund, caricature-like domestic workers, placing the etchings on the border of satire. The images draw sharp attention to these domestic contact zones during the apartheid era. This specific print, Women in Swimsuit, depicts a figure performing a handstand, which may be interpreted as an allegory for the performative tricks that domestic workers did, and were requested to do, for their masters. Domestic Scenes (1979 - 80) is one of Kentridge’s earlier print series, which has been printed by the artist himself. The series of approximately 40 images was created at the etching press at Johannesburg Art Foundation. Although, Kentridge admits that he did not complete printing the entire edition as he claims, “…to do thirty prints also seemed like an act of hubris.â€21 Art in Print, “William Kentridge: Drawing Has its Own Memory.â€2 William Kentridge, William Kentridge Prints (Johannesburg: David Krut Publishing, 2006), 26 – 29. - LD
