Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.

More quotes by Anish Kapoor
I am really interested in the idea that art can reach wider, can go further, can go beyond the art world, why not? People are intelligent, people are visually intelligent, and why shouldn't the work be able to engage some of that?
Anish Kapoor
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
Anish Kapoor
One cannot set out to make a work that's spiritual. What is a contemporary iconography for the spiritual? Is it some fuzzy space?
Anish Kapoor
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
Anish Kapoor
Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.
Anish Kapoor
One does afford oneself the luxury to come into the studio and all day, every day, spend one's life making aesthetic propositions. What an immense luxury
Anish Kapoor
I used to empty the studio out and throw stuff away. I now don't. There will be a whole series of dead ends that a year or two down the line I'll come back to
Anish Kapoor
The whole point of being an artist is to have no agenda. To say, you know, I don't know what I am going to do tomorrow, I don't know what it's going to look like, and I'm going to have a go at it.
Anish Kapoor
Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments
Anish Kapoor
There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.
Anish Kapoor
Red is a colour I've felt very strongly about. Maybe red is a very Indian colour, maybe it's one of those things that I grew up with and recognise at some other level.
Anish Kapoor
A work will only have deep resonance if the kind of darkness I can generate is something that is resident in me already
Anish Kapoor
I think I understand something about space. I think the job of a sculptor is spatial as much as it is to do with form.
Anish Kapoor
I don't want to have anything to say, it just gets in the way. I think the journey of an artist is a journey of discovery and some engagements with paint, with the nature of material, with bodily things...One wants to open the story, not close it.
Anish Kapoor
The work itself has a complete circle of meaning and counterpoint. And without your involvement as a viewer, there is no story.
Anish Kapoor
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
Anish Kapoor
It's the role of the artist to pursue content
Anish Kapoor
That freedom that Picasso afforded himself, to be an artist in a huge number of ways, seems to be a huge psychological liberation.
Anish Kapoor
My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis
Anish Kapoor
All ideas grow out of other ideas
Anish Kapoor
