I got a chance to see Three Artists at The Caversham Press – Deborah Bell, Robert Hodgins and William Kentridge, at the BU Art Gallery before it came down.
Well curated and installed, it was refreshing to learn about three artists and an artistic center that I was ignorant to.
Adapted from the offical press release:
This exhibition features the work of three South African artists who were important participants in the early years of The Caversham Press. Comprising over 65 prints, the exhibition features selections from three collaborative print portfolios—Hogarth in Johannesburg, Little Morals, and Ubu Tells the Truth—as well as individual prints created by Bell, Hodgins and Kentridge at Caversham from 1985 to the present. Collectively, the work reflects Caversham’s beginnings as well as articulates the artists’ perspectives of living and working in South Africa during the years between late apartheid and the transition to the new democracy.
