William Kentridge began to focus more on theatrical artworks in the early 1990s, particularly around 1992. This marked a shift in his career as he explored the intersection of visual art and theater, incorporating elements of both into his productions. However, he continued to create art alongside his theatrical endeavors, often blurring the lines between the two disciplines. His prints from the early 1990's are very rare and highly sought after, as fewer prints were published in lower editions.

William Kentridge is a South African artist known for his prints, drawings, and animated films. He was born in Johannesburg in 1955 and studied at the University of the Witwatersrand and the Johannesburg Art Foundation. Kentridge's work often explores the political and social issues of his native South Africa, as well as broader themes of time, memory, and history. He is considered one of the most important contemporary artists working today.
