Streets of the City
2009
"Streets of the City" is a richly textured mohair, silk, and embroidered tapestry created through the collaboration of William Kentridge and Marguerite Stephens. The work weaves together Kentridge's signature expressive draftsmanship with the intricate craft of tapestry-making, translating his bold, gestural imagery into a tactile and luminous textile surface. The result is a dynamic fusion of fine art and textile tradition, evoking the layered energy and complexity of urban life.
