Helping to perpetuate the idea that artists from places other than Europe and America can be players on the contemporary scene,  El Anatsui: Five Decades at Carriageworks, the artist’s first solo exhibition in Australia, reveals the artist’s already well advanced career before his bottle-cap tapestries propelled him to stardom. El Anatsui: Five Decades is touring various destinations all over the globe.
