It was made by [Chris Prater of Kelpra Studios] Prater in London on the basis of detailed instructions sent to him by Kitaj...He produced few paintings during this period, dedicating his energies chiefly to this large-scale project. While each book stands alone in each print, together they map the artist’s pursuit of cultural and artistic identity through literature, poetry, history, Jewish subjects, politics, film, and the human form. Kitaj in our Time: Prints and Obsessions Reference: Catherine Daunt, from Volume 3, Number 4 Provenance: Estate of David E. Brauer, Houston, Texas.
