Anish Kapoor
Image
I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist
Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor
Image

Anish Kapoor
Image
It's precisely in those moments when I don't know what to do, boredom drives one to try a host of possibilities to either get somewhere or not get anywhere.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
Anish Kapoor
Image
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
Anish Kapoor
Image
All ideas grow out of other ideas
Anish Kapoor
Image
The work itself has a complete circle of meaning and counterpoint. And without your involvement as a viewer, there is no story.
Anish Kapoor
Image
It's the role of the artist to pursue content
Anish Kapoor
Image
The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately
Anish Kapoor
