Born in Johannesburg, David Krut is an international print publisher, book publisher and the founder of David Krut Projects. With a focus on developing art careers and education in South Africa, David Krut Projects is an international arts organization, operating in Johannesburg, Cape Town and New York. In 1999, David Krut launched the TAXI Art Book series, the first monographs of contemporary South African artists such as David Koloane, Willem Boshoff and Diane Victor. Accompanied by educational supplements, the TAXI Art Books facilitate art education in high schools and tertiary institutions in South Africa. In 1981, Krut published his first limited edition work with British artist Joe Tilson, and his print dealing activities allowed him to collaborate with smaller galleries in Canada, South Africa, Australia, the US, and the UK. He began working with William Kentridge in 1992, facilitating the artist’s creation of a substantial number of new editions with print workshops. In 2000, Krut began inviting New York-based master printers to Johannesburg to collaborate with local artists, which led to the establishment of David Krut Workshop, a dedicated intaglio print workshop in Johannesburg in 2002. Established in 2001, David Krut Projects, New York, operates as a satellite space for Krut’s operations in South Africa, and promotes South African artists and emerging international artists.
