Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor
Image
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist

Anish Kapoor
Image
It's the role of the artist to pursue content
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
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
Anish Kapoor
Image
One doesn't make art for other people, even though I am very concerned with the viewer
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
My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis
Anish Kapoor
Image
All ideas grow out of other ideas
