William Kentridge

Press release

On Thursday, 29 January 2026, Galleria Lia Rumma opens, at its Milan venue, the new solo exhibition by William Kentridge titled Sharpen Your Philosophy. The South African artist, internationally renowned for his animated films, drawings, tapestries, sculptures, and theatre productions, returns to exhibit in Milan, further consolidating his nearly thirty-year collaboration with Galleria Lia Rumma, developed over the years through numerous permanent and temporary projects in Italy. For this new exhibition project, Kentridge presents a poetic and varied body of recent works—including drawings and prints, a diorama, large- and medium-scale aluminum and bronze sculptures, and video installations—which reflect his ongoing exploration of complex themes such as displacement, identity, and the elusive nature of knowledge.
