A collaboration between Taipei Fine Arts Museum and London's Royal Academy of Arts, this show is a testament to the South African artist's standing as one of the most important cultural figures of our time. First shown at the Royal Academy in 2022, it spans the artist's extraordinary output—from his scratchy charcoal drawings and etchings to stop-motion short films and sublime stage performances. The result is a slam dunk of simple gestures that traverse complex subjects with sophisticated assurance.
