'The project began just before Christmas 2017. William Kentridge drew the sugar lift image onto a copper plate and then the plate was etched and printed by Pontsho Sikhosana onto 120gms Phumani hand-made sisal and hemp paper. Thereafter, the artist re-painted the sugar-lift, dry-pointed and scraped away at the copper plate while Kim Berman proofed and etched four more layers of aquatint etching until Kentridge was satisfied with the richness of tonality and complexity of the print. The two plates consist of single processions of key moments by Dada characters (Picabia, Arp and Ernst) and office characters including a portrait of the artist's embossing stamp or ‘chop’ that sits on one of his work tables in the studio.
On completion, the artist numbered and signed each print in pencil. The Artist Proof Studio chop appears on the right hand corner of the Arches paper.
Four Artist's Proofs have been donated by APS and William Kentridge to Lefika La Phodiso.
