Internationally acclaimed artist Anish Kapoor is the subject of a series of landmark exhibitions in 2026 featuring major solo presentations across the United States, Europe, and the UK. Spanning prestigious institutions from the SCAD Museum of Art to London’s Hayward Gallery, this year-long programme highlights Kapoor’s continued exploration of space, the void, and the transformative power of materiality.?

12th February – 11th April 2026: Lisson Gallery, New York, USA
Anish Kapoor returns to New York with a solo presentation at Lisson Gallery, anchored by large-scale stainless-steel sculptures accompanied by a select group of finely articulated recent mirror works. Spanning from 2010 to present, the show highlights Kapoor’s ongoing fascination with the spatial properties of the mirrored object and its ability to both absorb and create new space.
11th April – 6th September 2026: Stiftung Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum, Germany
Spring marks a significant museum survey at the Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg. This exhibition will place Kapoor’s contemporary language in dialogue with the museum’s renowned collection of modern sculpture. This follows last year’s grant of the prestigious Wilhelm Lehmbruck Prize by the city of Duisburg and the Rhineland Regional Council to the artist for his life’s work.?
5th May – August 2026: Palazzo Manfrin, Venice, Italy
During the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, Anish Kapoor will unveil an ambitious new presentation at the Palazzo Manfrin, the 16th century Venetian palazzo which has become the home of the artist’s foundation. The exhibition brings together models for architecturally scaled works, both realised and as yet unrealised, spanning the last 50 years alongside mirror works and immersive sculptures, including a new architectural work, composed of silicone and paint that marks a symbiotic moment with Kapoor’s current painting practice. ?
22th May 2026 – 18th April 2027: Serlachius Museum, Finland
In his most extensive Nordic presentation to date, Kapoor will take over the Serlachius Museum, including the unveiling of a new monumental work. This long-term exhibition explores the relationship between the organic and the engineered, set against the backdrop of Finland’s natural landscape.
16th June – 18th October 2026: Hayward Gallery, London, UK
This landmark exhibition is a centrepiece of the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary programme, marking Anish Kapoor’s highly-anticipated return to the Hayward after it was the first public gallery in the UK to host a major survey of his work in 1998. Curated by Ralph Rugoff, the show will span new and seminal works, offering a series of spectacular encounters with Kapoor’s sculptures and paintings across the entire gallery and its terraces. Three monumental works that defy the boundaries of conventional sculpture will be at the heart of the exhibition, each filling an entire section of the Hayward.
