El Anatsui is everywhere this year. With a huge piece on the outside of the venerable Royal Academy in London, and a whole show in the Brooklyn Museum and the High Line in New York, it's hard to miss him.
He is a West African artist who uses recycled materials such as discarded bottled tops, roofing sheets, printing plates and other detritus which he turns into intricate, shimmering metallic hangings.
