"If you think that great contemporary art comes only from developed countries in the West, or from cities in fast-growing parts of China, India or Latin America, think again.
Anatsui's immense and astonishing creations show that Africa is very much a continent to reckon with, artistically speaking — and we're not speaking of an ethno-kitsch revival of traditional tribal masks and the like.
The Akron show focuses on more than a dozen large-scale works made by Anatsui and an army of assistants from thousands of discarded liquor-bottle caps or milk-can lids fastened together with short bits of copper wire."
