Okiki Akinfe works acquired for Abbot Hall through new Frieze fund
Three works by British-Nigerian artist Okiki Akinfe have been acquired for Abbot Hall in Kendal through the inaugural Dasha Shenkman Focus Fund. Shalom Esene’s Art Report Africa profile examines the painter’s practice following the selection at Frieze London. The acquisition comprises a painting, a lightbox work and a preparatory drawing, placing several aspects of her work in a public collection. The fund supports an acquisition, rather than an unrestricted cash award to the artist.
