Richter and El Anatsui at Edward Tyler Nahem for Art Basel

Edward Tyler Nahem has two very different abstract works leading its booth at Art Basel:

Edward Tyler Nahem Fine Art (ETNFA) will present a selection of painting and sculpture from distinguished European and American masters to preeminent contemporary artists. The gallery’s stand will include works by Pablo Picasso, Joan Mitchell, Sam Francis, Gerhard Richter, and El Anatsui among others.

Gerhard Richter’s Abstraktes Bild (774-1), 1992 and El Anatsui’s Bleeding Takari I, 2007 are some of the standout works to be exhibited from June 12th to June 16th in the gallery’s stand, A-11.

El Anatsui’s Bleeding Takari I, 2007 can be hung to display either its recto or verso with one side composed of shiny gold and silver bare aluminum and the other a kaleidoscopic array of colorful bottle top graphics. The second work in this series, Bleeding Takari II, 2007 is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
