Key works from the past 15 years of Kapoor’s career, including new sculptures and paintings that elaborate upon the artist’s famed spatial and perceptual experimentations This landmark volume presents a selection of British sculptor Anish Kapoor’s (born 1954) output from the past 15 years, highlighting many of his most iconic works: steel mirror sculptures that warp, distort and disorient; objects coated in Vantablack that mystify with their extraordinary light-absorbing properties; and seemingly depthless voids opening within the gallery space, drawing viewers in with a thrilling sense of vertigo. The volume also introduces the artist’s development of new, strikingly visceral forms of sculpture and painting. In these recent works, Kapoor explores both novel thematic concerns as well as those that have been central to his entire career: spatial perception, presence and absence, surface and void, the known and the unknown. The volume also features a text from renowned psychoanalyst and philosopher Julia Kristeva as well as an interview with the artist conducted by Hayward Gallery Director Ralph Rugoff.
