More quotes by Anish Kapoor

Image
All ideas grow out of other ideas
Anish Kapoor
Image
There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.
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
I, in the end, make art for myself.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Red, of course, is the colour of the interior of our bodies. In a way it's inside out, red.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments
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
Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.
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
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
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 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
Image
Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.
Anish Kapoor
Image
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
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
One does not set out with the idea that I've just had a great idea and now I'm going to go and carry it out. Almost all art that's made like that doesn't go anywhere.
Anish Kapoor
Image
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
Image
We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I am really interested in the idea that art can reach wider, can go further, can go beyond the art world, why not? People are intelligent, people are visually intelligent, and why shouldn't the work be able to engage some of that?
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
