Anish Kapoor, turning the world upside down

Meer over het boek

In the beautiful settings of Kensington Gardens, the major outdoor sculptures by acclaimed London-based artist Anish Kapoor are taken in scene. The sculptures are sited to contrast and reflect the changing colours, foliage and weather in Kensington Gardens. Despite their monumental scale, the works appear as pure reflection of their surroundings: the sky, trees, water, wildlife and changing seasons. The distortions in the works’ mirror-like surfaces call into question the viewers’ relationship to both the work itself and the surrounding environment. The catalogue will be illustrated with stunning photographs of the works in situ. Furthermore, it will be the first monograph to feature a comprehensive overview of all stainless steel sculptures within the artist’s oeuvre. Die Skulpturen Anish Kapoors, die die Kensington Gardens für ein halbes Jahr in einen Skulpturenpark verwandeln, stehen im Mittelpunkt dieses Katalogs. Anhand dieser lässt sich das Farbenspiel des Laubs und die Wechselhaftigkeit des Wetters Genauestens ablesen. Diese Publikation stellt Kapoors Stahlskulpturen erstmals in den Kontext seines Gesamtwerks.
