This stunning work by El Anatsui is a sister piece to the similarly hand-sculpted aluminum edition “Gold Band” released in 2020. Produced in an extremely limited edition, each of the 14 works produced is unique with variations in the hand-sculpting and added bits of copper wire. Each is inteded to emulate the artist’s iconic and monumental draped sculptures of handfashioned bottlecaps. These rare aluminum editions are a relatively affordable entry point of collectorship for this blue-chip artist.
