In 2002, Kentridge was invited to Columbia University, as an artist in residence, and has since completed several print projects with the Neiman Centre. As a master of intaglio techniques, he completed a series of smaller artworks in drypoint, aquatint and sugar-lift during his stay. The present lot is one from this collection, published by the LeRoy Neiman Centre for Print Studies at Columbia University.
