Daniel’s Value and Ideas #75: The Misguided Turn around Kapoor’s Dirty Corner
26 June 2015 • daniel barnes
Anish Kapoor has got himself into a spot of bother with a sculpture at the Palace of Versailles
Tag: Anish Kapoor
Anish Kapoor (b. 1954, Mumbai, India) transforms form and void into experiences of wonder and disquiet. Working across sculpture, architecture, and installation, he uses materials like pigment, stone, wax, and polished steel to bend light and perception. His mirrored and cavernous works draw viewers into spaces that seem to breathe and implode at once—objects that question where surface ends and depth begins. Kapoor’s practice is both monumental and meditative, turning abstraction into a site of emotional and spatial intensity.
