#DrawingPapers Archive
This page from Drawing Papers 31 features a charcoal on paper drawing titled “Scanners, from History of the Main Complaint” created by William Kentridge in 1995.
This piece was featured in the 2002 exhibition that celebrated the 25th anniversary of The Drawing Center. The 25th Anniversary Benefit Selections Exhibition invited all of the 750 artists whose work had been featured in Selections or Drawing Room exhibitions since 1977 to participate.
