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

More quotes by Anish Kapoor
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
Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.
Anish Kapoor
One can hardly be Indian and not know that almost every accent, which hand you eat your food with, has some deeper symbolic truth, reality.
Anish Kapoor
All ideas grow out of other ideas
Anish Kapoor
It's the role of the artist to pursue content
Anish Kapoor
Red, of course, is the colour of the interior of our bodies. In a way it's inside out, red.
Anish Kapoor
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
The work itself has a complete circle of meaning and counterpoint. And without your involvement as a viewer, there is no story.
Anish Kapoor
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
Anish Kapoor
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
Anish Kapoor
Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important
Anish Kapoor
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
Anish Kapoor
Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.
Anish Kapoor
There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.
Anish Kapoor
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
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
I don't want to have anything to say, it just gets in the way. I think the journey of an artist is a journey of discovery and some engagements with paint, with the nature of material, with bodily things...One wants to open the story, not close it.
Anish Kapoor
What interests me is the sense of the darkness that we carry within us, the darkness that's akin to one of the principal subjects of the sublime - terror
Anish Kapoor
I've always felt that if one was going to take seriously this vocation as an artist, you have to get beyond that decorative facade
Anish Kapoor
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
