"Many curators, knowledgable collectors, and dealers consider William Kentridge to be one of the most innovative artists working today. In ""North Polar Chart"" (2013) Kentridge expounds upon his multidisciplinary approach to creation. In the present work, the tapestry medium enables the artist to work out his vision on an immense scale. Large tapestries such as this have been used historically as both decorative and functional objects, and Kentridge's work is rich with historical references.
