Reviews

This book is extremely sensitively conceived, designed and produced.--Andrea Kirsh Artblog The product of more than three decades of research and collaboration with the artist by scholars Okwui Enwezor and Chika Okeke-Agulu, who place Anatsui's work in the historical context of post-independence Ghana and mid-20th century African modernism in art and writing. Hundreds of color images examine the sculptures in detail, giving the reader an in-depth insight into the artist's process, how transformation is central to his pieces, and how his approach evolved over time.--Kate Mothes Colossal
