The internationally recognized artist is best-known for his cascading metallic sculptures constructed of thousands of upcycled bottle-tops strung with copper wire. The results of these repurposed materials are the dazzling works of abstract art, that have graced several prestigious museums and galleries around the world.
Since Tate Modern opened in 2000, the Turbine Hall has hosted some of the world's most memorable works of contemporary art. Artists like Louise Bourgeois, Cecilia Vicuña, Kara Walker, Anicka Yi, Tito Seghal, Richard Title, Miroslaw Balka, Ai Weiwei and many more; have used their art in the Turbine Hall to make statements on a wide range of subjects.
