Product Description
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.
About the Author
Anish Kapoor was born in 1954 in Bombay, India, to mixed Punjabi and Iraqi-Jewish parentage, and moved to London in the early 1970s to study at the Hornsley College of Art. Since then he has continued to live and work in the United Kingdom, and represented the latter at the Venice Biennale--where he won the Premio Duemila. In 1991 he was awarded the much-coveted--and incomparably prestigious--Turner prize. His work has been exhibited at the Tate Gallery, London, the National Gallery, Ottawa, and is in collections worldwide, including at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
