Exhibition catalog for a show at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, Des Moines Art Center, National Gallery of Canada and the Power Plant (Toronto). Checklist of the exhibition. Anish Kapoor was born in 1954 in Bombay, India, and moved to London in the early 1970s to study art. Since then he has lived and worked in Britain. Kapoor represented Britain at the Venice Biennale where he won the Premio Duemila, and in 1991 he was awarded the Turner Prize. One author, Pier Luigi Tazzi, curated the Anish Kapoor section of the 1996 Sao Paulo Biennial.

One of the foremost artists of his generation, Anish Kapoor?s majestic, beguiling sculptures, awesome in their size and simple beauty, at once demand a physical response and suggest a metaphysical realm. With stunning photographs of signature works, including new pieces that have never been published, Anish Kapoor is the first major monograph of this internationally renowned and popular artist.Employing intense colors and refined surfaces, and working with contrasts between form and void, and light and darkness, Kapoor?s work evokes the mystical, and creates optical effects that challenge perceptual certainties. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, this richly illustrated book traces Kapoor?s artistic development over the course of a career spanning more than thirty years. Eminent scholars explore the philosophical issues pertinent to his work and examine its place in the history of modern sculpture and in the

Anish Kapoor is best known for his curvy, enigmatic sculptures in fiberglass, stone and stainless steel. These drawings represent a more private and personal side of his practice. This first book about the drawings ranges from the mid 1990s to the present with color saturated voids and eclipses that clearly feed and complement his sculpture. Jeremy Lewison, former Director of Collections at the Tate, who has known and worked with Kapoor for many years, places this recent work in context of early, overtly symbolic drawings, and of Modernist abstraction, in which Kapoor, like his colleagues, seeks to move beyond the decorative to the sublime. Drawings offers a host of new insights and images, and will be the standard reference on its subject.

Anish Kapoor (b.1954) is one of the world?s most prominent artists, as the creator of popular public sculptures around the globe ? including Cloud Gate (2004, Millennium Park, Chicago), Mirror (2006, Rockefeller Center, New York) and Tarantara (1999-2000, Gateshead and Naples) ? and the recipient of numerous international awards, including the Turner Prize (1991). This is the most extensive monograph ever published on the artist, covering more than 30 years of work and illustrated with hundreds of full-color images of sketches and technical diagrams from his most ambitious projects. In a range of materials, from the traditional (alabaster, sandstone) to the high tech (polished steel, PVC), Kapoor?s unique vocabulary of natural shapes and abstract forms has changed the course of contemporary sculpture. Anish Kapoor includes an extensive chronology covering the artist?s life in detail and is illustrated with snapshots, sketches and ephemera, some never published until now.

Since the early 1980s, Anish Kapoor's investigations into objecthood, materiality and gravity have explored the concept of the void, or "objects becoming space." His sculptures, installations and public art test the phenomenology of space and have historically been characterized by intensely tactile or reflective materials--like colored pigments, wax, fiberglass, polished stainless steel and PVC--that resist any narrative reading. This volume documents Kapoor's 2008 commission for the Deutsche Guggenheim, which travels to New York in 2009. Conceived as an intervention in the galleries that prevents any one complete viewing or experience of the work, and fabricated of Cor-Ten steel with industrial hinges and flanges exposed, the work tests the boundaries between sculpture and painting. It is considered in this volume through the lenses of philosophy, structural analysis and postcolonial and architectural theory. In addition to ample color reproductions of the work itself, this volume includes preparatory sketches and architectural renderings.

Anish Kapoor is one of a generation of internationally acclaimed British artists who came to prominence in the 1980s. He has since developed a distinctive body of work in stone, marble, pigment, stainless steel, and plaster, producing sculptures that can provoke intensely spiritual and physical feelings.This catalog accompanies Kapoor's first major showing in a public gallery in Britain. New pieces created especially for the Hayward Gallery transform the London gallery space, penetrating the walls and floors and giving the impression that the work is growing out of the architecture. Included in the show are a series of monumental stone sculptures weighing up to eight tons each.Much of Kapoor's recent work explores the concept of the "void." The artist cuts deeply into the stone, sometimes coating the interior surfaces with a rich pigment and transforming the void into a charged, dark space. Kapoor also works with reflective surfaces that appear to engulf the viewer and his surroundings.Homi Bhabha's essay asks what kind of theory of art and culture emerges from Kapoor's work. Bhabha offers an "ethical" interpretation that explores the way the sculptures force one to ponder not just art, but the role of art in the world. He also comments on how playful Kapoor's work is in its use of color, object, and fantasy, and on how the combination of "deadly seriousness" and play are essential in his sculptures."I am really interested in the end, at the end of the process, at the way a stone is not a stone, the way the stone becomes something else, becomes light, becomes a proposition, becomes a lens."—Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor is one of the most important artists of his generation. Born in Bombay and living in London since the early 1970s, he has exhibited worldwide and has works in many important public collections including the Tate Gallery, London and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The artist uses different media to explore his vision including stone, metal, marble, pigment and fibreglass. Yet these materials are magically fashioned, polished and coloured into non-objects which invoke the sublime, a condition of emptiness and darkness. Kapoor represented Britain at the Venice Blennale in 1990, where he won the prestigious Premio Duemila and in 1991 was awarded the Turner Prize.

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, stetched 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 is the creator of popular public sculptures and the recipient of numerous international awards, including the Turner Prize (1991). He emerged in London in the early 1980s and has created a remarkable body of work that, employing intense colors and refined surfaces and working with contrasts between form and void, and light and darkness, blends a modernist sense of pure materiality with a fascination for the manipulation of form and the perception of space. Published to accompany a major exhibition in Milan, this richly illustrated book surveys Kapoor’s work since 1979 and traces his artistic development over the course of a career spanning more than thirty years. With more than ninety color images of the artist’s works, two original essays, and selections from his sketchbooks, this book confirms Anish Kapoor’s place as one of the most remarkable sculptors working today. Essays by curators Gianni Mercurio and Demetrio Paparoni, as well as archival materials, offer insights into the artist’s endeavors and process.

This publication brings together for the first time Anish Kapoor’s (born 1934) architectural projects and ideas spanning the last 40 years. Kapoor’s projects renegotiate the relationship not only between art and architecture but also between the very sense of space within ourselves and that of the external world. The forms he presents create spaces that blur the duality of subject and object, of interior and exterior. Monochrome fields of color, mirrored surfaces and fathomless voids all destabilize our place in the world. The more than 2,000 sketches, models, renderings and plans in this book show the journey of these forms to how they might exist in reality, as well as the spaces they inhabit or create, both outside and within us.
