Happy Birthday, #ElAnatsui! The internationally renowned sculptor known for his innovative use of post-consumer materials was #bornonthisday. Since last year, Palettes of Ambition (2023) has been at home in our Scaife Lobby. Welcoming visitors with its grand scale and intricate details, Palettes of Ambition illustrates the myriad ways in which the everyday materials like bottle caps can be transformed into patterns and shapes, creating a sense of volume from an otherwise flat material. — El Anatsui, Palettes of Ambition, 2023, Carnegie Museum of Art, Gift of Dr. and Mrs. Karl Salatka; Video: Max Cianci
