More quotes by Anish Kapoor

Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.
Anish Kapoor
Image
One of the great currents in the contemporary experience of art is that it seems to come out of the experience of the author.
Anish Kapoor
Image
My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis
Anish Kapoor
Image
Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments
Anish Kapoor
Image
If one is talking about sculpture then scale and skin is everything.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
Anish Kapoor
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It is important that artists are not outside the equation, we don't stand on the sidelines. Artists are part of the story of a response, we cannot stand aside and let others make the response.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
Anish Kapoor
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
Maybe the way we have learned to look has changed in the last 25 years, and the exotic is much more acceptable. There are many artists now, younger artists, who work out of the exotic
Anish Kapoor
Image
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
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
Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.
Anish Kapoor
Image
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
Image
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
Anish Kapoor
Image
I, in the end, make art for myself.
Anish Kapoor
Image
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
