LITERATURE John McDonald and Bill Gregory. (2008) William Kentridge: Telegrams From The Nose, Australia: Annandale Galleries. Other examples from the edition and installation views illustrated on pages 39 to 49. What will come (has already come) (2007) Basel: Stroemfeld Verlag In another group of works Kentridge shows motifs which refer directly to Dürer’s drawing machines. Six model stages, distinguished by different actors and props, have been stereoscopically photographed and photogravures made of the two photographs. These are now presented horizontally on tables, like the anamorphoses. Through six stereoscopes one can see twelve images arranged in pairs, which when looked at may be linked to form three-dimensional images. The manner of presentation also emphasises the laboratory character of these images. The exhibition becomes a cabinet of knowledge, a Wunderkammer, a curiosity cabinet of a self- questioning seeing. Another example from the edition forms part of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art permanent collection. 527 William Joseph KENTRIDGE SOUTH AFRICAN 1 955- Underweysung der Messung: Melencolia, Momento Mori, Still Life, A Cat in the Meat Trade, Étant Donnée, Larder executed in 2007 each signed, numbered BC1 5/5 in pencil and embossed with the Brodsky Centre chop mark in the margin six photogravures with stereopticon on wove paper, including stereoscope sheet size: 34 by 57cm, each (7) R70 000–90 000 278
