El Anatsui is a famous sculptor from Ghana and currently works in both Ghana and Nigeria. He is most famously known for his sculptures that include bottle caps. What I find really interesting about his pieces are that he doesn't give instructions on how to assemble them. So every time you see the piece at a different museum, they'll be different since they will be assembled differently. This specific piece is called Gravity and Grace at two different museums. It is the same piece but hung differently. He encourages the museum staff to "sculpt" each work as they install it making it different each time. The colors of this one are really beautiful and really make this piece pop out.
