Image
I'm not necessarily interested in being the best Indian artist. I want to be the best artist I can be. That's enough of a declaration of intent.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important
Anish Kapoor
Image
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
Image
I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist
Anish Kapoor
Image
If one is talking about sculpture then scale and skin is everything.
Anish Kapoor
Image
There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.
Anish Kapoor
Image
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
Image
I, in the end, make art for myself.
Anish Kapoor
Image

Anish Kapoor
Image
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
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
It's the role of the artist to pursue content
Anish Kapoor
Image
The most important things that one's working on are not necessarily the most important things that one thinks one's working on.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Is it my role as an artist to say something, to express, to be expressive? I think it's my role as an artist to bring to expression, it's not my role to be expressive.
Anish Kapoor
Image
My first show sold within the first 3 minutes, and I came back to the studio and spent the next two and a half years making almost nothing
Anish Kapoor
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
Anish Kapoor
Image
All ideas grow out of other ideas
