El Anatsui in the Arsenale

Two beautiful wall hangings by El Anatsui were seen in the overly warm Arsenale, a non-air conditioned space that housed some of the newer artists and their work. I believe these are constructed from wrappers from wine bottles or bottle caps. Small holes are punched into the pieces and the pieces are attached together by some kind of wire. We marveled at the attention to detail and care that must have been taken to construct this.
