Provenance
Mr Christoph Ludzuweit;
A private collection.
El Anatsui made ten printed textiles in Nsukka in 1988, they were produced in black, blue, yellow, ochre and orange pigments. Three of these works are now to be found in the collection of Iwalewahaus, Bayreuth.
These early works can be considered as the first stage in the artist's development of the later wall hangings.
Christoph Ludzuweit worked as a lecturer at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka from 1983 to 1988 and was a close friend and colleague of the artist.
