El Anatsui’s show entitled, El Anatsui: Triumphant Scale, would have gone to Switzerland’s Museum of Fine Arts, Berne, from March to June 2020; and Spain’s Guggenheim Bilbao, from July to November 2020, but had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The emeritus professor earned his bachelor’s degree in sculpture and a post-graduate diploma in art education from KNUST, in 1969. He taught at the Specialist Training College in Winneba, Ghana, until 1975. That same year he moved to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where he taught sculpture and basic design. After his retirement in 2011, he became an emeritus professor in 2014.
Bodjawah said: “Prof. El Anatsui has been like a godfather, a patron and mentor in all spheres of art world. He has been a philanthropist not only to us, but also to other schools in Africa. He likes to work in the quiet.” Among some of the institutions in whose collections his works can be found are The British Museum, London; The Centre Pompidou, Paris; The de Young Museum, San Francisco; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Guggenheim, Abu Dhabi; The Osaka Foundation of Culture, Japan; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Tate, London; and The Leeum Samsung Museum, Korea.
