To support Gravity and Grace, an exhibition featuring work by El Anatsui to run June 16 through Oct. 7, 2012, engaging local and national communities through innovative programming in celebration of the museum's 90th anniversary
Gravity and Grace features twelve recent, monumental wall and floor sculptures widely considered to represent the apex of the artist’s career. In addition, a series of drawings illuminates the artist’s process, and wooden wall reliefs reference his earlier work in wood and bear fascinating compositional relationships to the large metal pieces.
