520 $aEl Anatsui: When I Last Wrote to You about Africa. The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) presents the world premiere of 'El Anatsui: When I Last Wrote to You about Africa', a career retrospective of Ghanaian visual artist El Anatsui. Presented by the Institute for Contemporary Culture (ICC) at the ROM, this exhibition is the artist's first solo show in Canada. Featuring 63 works in various media drawn from public and private collections internationally, 'El Anatsui: When I Last Wrote to You about Africa' will be on display in the Roloff Beny Gallery on Level 4 of the ROM's Michael Lee-Chin Crystal from October 2, 2010 to January 2, 2011. This retrospective has been organized by the Museum for African Art (MfAA), in New York, and will be one of the inaugural exhibitions in the MfAA's new building, which opens in April 2011. Drawing on Ghanaian and Nigerian cultural references as well as global, local and personal histories, El Anatsui's body of work comprises large shimmering metallic tapestries, for which he is best known, as well as paintings and sculptures in wood, ceramic and metal.
