El Anatsui's Seoul show opens
White Cube Seoul opened 'LuwVor,' a solo exhibition by El Anatsui that will extend to White Cube Hong Kong and link into Art Basel Hong Kong programming — big news for contemporary collectors and museum crowds. (en.sedaily.com) The timing ties directly into Hong Kong Art Week and a new Art Month Discovery Guide for visiting collectors and cultural travelers. (manilatimes.net)
White Cube Seoul held a preview for LuwVor on 17 March 2026 from 18:00–20:00, with the public exhibition running 18 March–18 April 2026. (whitecube.com) White Cube Hong Kong will present the linked Asia showing from 25 March–9 May 2026, timed to coincide with the region’s gallery and fair calendar. (whitecube.com) White Cube has said the gallery will bring a “key work” from the new series as a booth highlight at Art Basel Hong Kong, which runs 27–29 March 2026. (whitecube.com) The pieces in LuwVor were produced in El Anatsui’s Accra studio from thousands of coloured metal bottle caps and salvaged materials, assembled and sutured into densely textured sculptural panels. (whitecube.com) In this series Anatsui places equal emphasis on recto and verso—allowing works to be installed on or away from the wall and viewed from both sides—further developing his ‘non‑fixed form’ approach. (whitecube.com) White Cube describes the presentation as the gallery’s first exhibition with El Anatsui and frames the new works as a continuation of his recent large‑scale projects, notably the Hyundai Commission "Behind the Red Moon" at Tate Modern (2023) and the touring "After the Red Moon" at Museum of Art Pudong (2024).
