Nnenna Okore (Nigerian, born 1975) Ahioke clay and burlap 86 x 112cm (33 7/8 x 44 1/8in). Footnotes: Provenance Acquired from William Karg Contemporary African Art Gallery in 2008. Born in Australia, Nnenna Okore was raised in both Swaziland and Nigeria, later completing her degree at the University of Nigeria Nsukka. She has trained with El Anatsui, and has since developed her own distinctive style using different textures and organic materials such as the intricate pieces of clay woven with burlap seen here in Ahioke. Okore also makes a conscious effort to work with found objects and nature to create large scale abstract works. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
