Au revior – Walking Frame

Before You Go…

South African artist William Kentridge is best known for his hand-drawn animated films, but this work, Walking Frame, is a bronze sculpture that stands ready to capture the gaze of all passersby. With an impressive weight of 122 kilograms (about 269 pounds), the statue is one in a series of five. The sculptures are symbols or “glyphs” of everyday objects represented in a way so that they can stand on their own. Its juxtaposition gives the illusion of movement even though it is stationary.
