Tuesday – Saturday, 11am – 7pm
White Cube is delighted to present two concurrent exhibitions in Asia by renowned sculptor El Anatsui (b. 1944, Anyako, Ghana), marking his first collaboration with the gallery. Following his major presentation After the Red Moon at the Museum of Art Pudong in 2024—adapted from Behind the Red Moon for Tate Modern’s Hyundai Commission—a new body of work will be unveiled across White Cube’s galleries in Hong Kong and Seoul.
Since the late 1990s, Anatsui has transformed discarded bottle caps into monumental sculptural forms. Presented across both exhibitions, the new metal works expand this practice and, for the first time, are conceived as double-sided sculptures with no single front or back.
Suspended freely in space, the works reveal their intricate construction—thousands of caps cut, flattened and joined with copper wire—while contrasting shimmering silver surfaces with the earthy tones of the original branded metal.

White Cube will present a work by El Anatsui from his new series at its stand for the 2026 edition of Art Basel Hong Kong. The presentation will also feature works by Antony Gormley, Cai Guo-Qiang, Beatriz Milhazes and Emmi Whitehorse, among others.
