Product detailed description
Yesterday’s Good Idea is rooted in William Kentridge’s Blue Rubrics, where fragments of text act as open-ended prompts for thought. Simple phrases become carriers of meaning – subtle, yet powerful.
This off-white tote bag was created on the occasion of the exhibition The Battle Between YES and NO at Kunsthalle Praha. The lapis lazuli lettering references Kentridge’s distinctive use of text and color, while the reverse side features a minimal exhibition mark.
Combining practicality with artistic intent, it’s designed for everyday use – a functional object that quietly carries a conceptual layer.

William Kentridge
William Kentridge (*1955, Johannesburg) is one of the most influential contemporary artists. His multidisciplinary practice spans drawing, printmaking, film, animation, theatre, and installation, exploring the relationship between image, time, and memory.
Deeply shaped by the political and historical context of South Africa, particularly apartheid, his work addresses themes of power, injustice, collective memory, and human responsibility. He often works through fragmentation, repetition, and shifting meaning.
Drawing remains central to his practice as a process in flux – images are never fixed but constantly erased, redrawn, and transformed. This openness gives his work a distinctive and enduring relevance.
