How many people does it take to lift a 600 lb sculpture? The answer depends on how many pulleys you have. Watch as art riggers lift and uncrate El Anatsui͛’s Erosion sculpture. #gantrycrane #elanatsui #arthandling #nmafaconservation

One of the most inspiring, best and most beautiful exhibition openings I’ve been to: “El Anatsui. Triumphant Scale” at Haus der Kunst, #Munich. The #exhibition is the artist’s most comprehensive exhibition so far. Plus, I’ve met the artist tonight, which made my day. #elanatsui

‘Ink Splash II’ by #ElAnatsui may look like an abstract painting at first glance, but this illusion was created through a painstaking process of weaving thousands of flattened bottle tops together with copper wire. On free display at Tate Modern: bit.ly/2KItxM5

Inspiring artist of the day is Ghanaian sculptor El Anatsui b.1944. He is best known for his vast shimmering hangings made from thousands of pieces of scrap metal, cans and bottle tops sewn together with wire. They often incorporate traditional symbols. #GraysonsArtClub

"Shard communicates the quality and potential of the broken piece – of something that's edges are left bare; exposed but ultimately free." El Anatsui's sculptures draw on the texture qualities of bottle tops. Gallery Efie Dubai thru 31May: da-is.us/3KJGQJm Aesthetica Magazine

Art is time-consuming, requiring vision, fortitude, self-confidence and most of all, stalwart confidence in the project at hand. BOTTLE TOPS, Alison Goldberg & Elizabeth Zunon's homage to artist El Anatsui, is in itself a work of art & today it's in the world. Behold! Lee & Low Books
