My personal opinion of El Anatsui is that he is the greatest artist alive.
I love art made from found objects. I think the greatest example of this appears at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the work by El Anatsui called Between Earth and Heaven, in which he incorporates with wire discarded metal soft drink can labels, whiskey labels, and bottle caps into a work of great art that has the appearance of the African tradition of strip-woven textiles
