David Krut Projects NYC

Art Gallery established in the West Chelsea Building in 2001. Open Fri from 11-6, or by appt.

David Krut operates two print shops and a gallery in Johannesburg, and a gallery space in Cape Town, South Africa. David Krut began publishing prints in the early 1980’s and has been publishing prints by William Kentridge since 1992. We opened our first print shop in Johannesburg in 2001 and since then we’ve published the majority of William Kentridge’s intaglio works, as well as other established

and emerging South African artists such as Diane Victor, Deborah Bell, Colbert Mashile, Zwelethu Mthethwa, Willem Boshoff and David Koloane. David Krut’s aim is to promote visual literacy and long term careers in the arts in South Africa, and call attention to South African art on an international scale. Our New York gallery acts as a satellite space to promote contemporary South African art, as well as a flexible space for collaborative and unique projects with artists such as El Anatsui, Stephen Antonakos, Joseph Hart, Nnenna Okore, Cannonball Press, Tom Huck, Suzanne McClelland and Santu Mofokeng.

Wingate Studio opened its doors in 1985 as a print workshop, where founder Peter Pettengill collaborated with renowned artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Walton Ford, Sol LeWitt, Robert Motherwell, and others. In 2013, Peter’s son, James Pettengill, joined as a second master printer, and today, he serves as an owner and the director of the press.⁠
⁠
Specializing in both printing and publishing, Wingate Studio is known for its expertise in multiple plate intaglio etching. Visiting artists use various tools to incise into metal plates and paint on them, applying solutions made of soap, asphalt, sugar, or wax. These plates are then etched in acid before printers meticulously ink them, ensuring the ink is pushed into the etched grooves. By hand, they wipe the plates clean before sending them through the press under a sheet of paper, transferring the ink onto the paper’s surface.⁠
⁠
To see examples of works produced at Wingate Studio alongside pieces from David Krut Workshop in Johannesburg, we invite you to the opening reception of “Connections” at David Krut Projects, New York on Thursday, March 28, from 6-9 PM. ⁠
⁠
A printing demonstration led by Leo Zhao, a Master Printer from Wingate Studio, will begin at 6:30 PM.⁠
⁠
Kindly RSVP via the link in our bio to experience the intaglio print process firsthand!⁠

2023 IN REVIEW | One of the highlights of the year, but also a glimpse of what is awaiting us in 2024 - David Krut Workshop welcomed Master Printer Jillian Ross back to Johannesburg for an exciting collaboration with William Kentridge, crafting prints inspired by Kentridge's upcoming performance, "The Great YES, the Great NO." ⁠
⁠
The prints, based on Kentridge's drawings, depict jungle scenes layered with insightful texts. Created through a global collaboration, the "Large Garden" variations are set to be exhibited at the Remai Modern Museum, Saskatoon in 2024, showcasing the fusion of artistic expertise across continents. ⁠

2023 IN REVIEW | Early in the year, artist Raquel van Haver joined forces with David Krut Workshop to create a series of 10 unique prints. Exploring the societal impact of materialism on identity, Van Haver created kaleidoscopic designs symbolizing both protection and harm. ⁠
⁠
Each print, tied to a societal transgression, carries a Latin title associated with the seven deadly sins. Van Haver examines the consequences of materialism on stolen land, creating a fusion of tactile artistry and critical reflection on the complexities of modern existence. ⁠

2023 IN REVIEW | The collaboration between Anna van der Ploeg and David Krut Workshop (DKW) was truly a highlight, yielding a diverse tapestry of printmaking, painting, and sculptural exploration. With master printer Roxy Kaczmarek, Van der Ploeg navigated the nuances of printmaking, delving into illusion, transparency, and poetic complexity. ⁠
⁠
The resulting body of work, born from the loose 'game' concept, offers a profound reflection on human interactions. Van der Ploeg's adept use of varied media showcases her versatility, while the emotive titles add layers to the visual narrative. ⁠

OPENING THE DRAWERS | Endale Desalegn's 2014 residency at DKW resulted in two series of monotypes exploring religious and mythological themes of his native Ethiopia, one of which titled “Yemaryam Firse”.⁠
⁠
“Yemaryam Firse” draws on Endale's childhood memories of a tiny beetle, yemaryam firse, meaning "Mary's Horse" in Amharic. The colorful, shiny beetle held magical associations for his generation in Ethiopia and was also used as a metaphor for emancipation. ⁠
⁠
Growing up, children would shout "YEMARYAM FIRSE", and this signaled that no one should touch them, that their need for space should be respected. In this series, Endale uses the footprint to symbolize the freedom associated with this beetle. ⁠
⁠
Featured Artworks: "Yemaryam Firse 7" & " "Yemaryam Firse 8", 2014 - $900 framed (each)⁠
