South African artist William Kentridge makes drawings that he erases, alters, or augments, all the while filming them to bring the drawings to life. William Kentridge: Weighing... and Wanting focuses on the the artist's 1998 film of the same name, and the drawings he used to make the film. Weighing... and Wanting is one of Kentridge's most personal films, and its poignancy is expressed through the intimacy of the large-scale color reproductions of the charcoal drawings. Over 80 film stills are reproduced in the catalogue, enabling the reader to follow the film sequence. An insightful essay on the drawings and film, and biographic information about William Kentridge completes the catalogue.
