Anish Kapoor
Anish Kapoor is an internationally acclaimed artist who came to prominence in the 1980s. His sculptures invoke the sublime and provoke an intense spiritual and physical response. A wide range of Kapoor's work is featured in this book including sculptures in which he explores the concept of the 'void'. Kapoor cuts deep into blocks of stone, sometimes coating the interior surfaces with a rich pigment, transforming the void into a charged, dark space. He also works with reflective surfaces which appear to engulf the viewer and the surrounding space.
Anish Kapoor
Anish Kapoor is one of the world's most renowned and influential sculptors. Born in Bombay, he has lived and worked in London since the early 1970s. His output ranges from works on a human scale, including powdered pigment sculptures and convex mirrors, to massive installations, both inside buildings and in the landscape. Taking on the challenge of the cavernous space of the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern in London, Kapoor created his largest sculpture ever: built of PVC membrane, stretched taut across massive steel hoops and hovering in mid-air, the sculpture dominates the space in a way no other artist has attempted. The creative process behind this ambitious project is documented here in specially commissioned photographs, drawings, and maquettes, and further explored in conversations with Kapoor. This is a fascinating look at what goes into a large-scale installation--from concept to realization--by one of today's leading artists.
Anish Kapoor
This book surveys Anish Kapoor's work since 1979, with a focus on sculptures and installations made since the early 1990s. With more than ninety color images of these ambitious and complex works, three original essays, an extended interview with Kapoor, and selections from his sketchbooks, this book confirms Anish Kapoor's place as one of the most remarkable sculptors working today.
Anish Kapoor
Anish Kapoor is a British sculpture who came to prominence in the 1980's. This is a collection of his drawings which previously have rarely been exhibited. Kapoor considers his works on paper as independent works of art rather than studies for sculpture. His drawings have themes in common with his three dimensional work but his approach to making them is entirely different.

Anish Kapoor
Widely admired for his artfully shaped mounds of vibrantly colored powder pigment, Bombay-born, London-based sculptor Anish Kapoor won the Turner Prize in 1991. Since the 1970s, Kapoor--through poetically abstract works in materials as diverse as stone, steel and glass--has explored the themes of spirituality and transcendence, a preoccupation that has its roots in his native India. This volume introduces three performative wax pieces, unlike any he has previously produced: a technician loads a nine-foot-long cannon, which sends a 40-pound blood-red wax blob shooting into the corner. The resulting trace has been described as "a giant gunshot wound." Also included is an essay by Vito Acconci, and published together here for the first time are Kapoor's works in wax from 1992 to the present and his print work from 1987 onward, enabling a closer exploration of the interplay between painting and sculpture in his oeuvre.
Anish Kapoor: Unseen
Showcases works from the past 40 years of one of Britain's most acclaimed living artists In the spring of 2024, ARKEN Museum of Modern Art presents the first solo exhibition in Scandinavia featuring one of Britain's most renowned artists. In his monumental and spectacular installations, Anish Kapoor explores the tension between mass and emptiness, between what can be seen and what cannot. This is evident when he invites viewers to let their gaze disappear into his 'black holes' - the paradoxical manifestation of invisibility that fundamentally challenges the experience of the spectator. Kapoor's works evoke both awe and a sense of disquiet; they are often executed on a very large scale and are extremely physical and present.The richly illustrated exhibition catalog delves into Anish Kapoor's work through selected pieces and texts, opening up a wide range of philosophical, poetic, physical, and existential questions.
