“If Anatsui’s complicated metal hangings of the past two decades confound the categories of painting and sculpture, when they became truly monumental in size they also began to approximate a third art form: architecture.” — “Undefinable”, in El Anatsui: Art and Life, ed. Susan M Vogel (Prestel Publishing, 2020), pg.188. [Horizon has been exhibited at The Prince Claus Fund, Amsterdam (2016), Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg (2017) and at The South African National Gallery, Cape Town (2018).]
