Earth Cloth, 2003
“I am fascinated by the work of this African artist: at first glance a shimmering object, on closer inspection a synergy of discarded items. Anatsui’s art is firmly rooted in his traditional culture, in Western art and in contemporary life. This work intrigues me, alludes to its origins as well as our consumption and creates a new awareness of sustainable action.” Sophie-Marie Sümmermann, Exhibition Project Manager and Co-Curator
