If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
Anish Kapoor

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

Anish Kapoor
Image
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
Image
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist
Anish Kapoor
Image
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
Anish Kapoor
Image
We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I, in the end, make art for myself.
Anish Kapoor
