The book represents a unique record of this extraordinary work, documenting the creative process through conversations with the artist and photographs of his sketches, maquettes and studio. Kapoor is renowned for his enigmatic sculptural forms that permeate physical and psychological space. His inventiveness and versatility have resulted in works ranging from powdered pigment sculptures and site-specific interventions on wall or floor, gigantic indoor and outdoor installations. Kapoor's work relies on the viewer's individual associations to transform his spaces, and it is their experiences that ultimately bring the work to life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49530671825169,"sku":"GOR002176303","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51070227710225,"sku":"GOR001813990","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1854374419.jpg?v=1751249256"},{"product_id":"anish-kapoor-book-anish-kapoor-9780520217416","title":"Anish Kapoor","description":"Anish Kapoor is a British artist who came to prominence in the 1980s.

Since then he has created a remarkable body of work that blends a modernist sense of pure materiality with a fascination for the manipulation of form and the perception of space. This book--the first major American publication on Kapoor's work--surveys his work since 1979, with a focus on sculptures and installations made since the early 1990s. With more than ninety color images of these ambitious and complex works, three original essays, an extended interview with Kapoor, and selections from his sketchbooks, this book confirms Anish Kapoor's place as one of the most remarkable sculptors working today. Kapoor's work has evolved into an abstract and perceptually complex elaboration of the sculptural object as at once monumental and evanescent, physical and ethereal--as in his famous Cloud Gate (2004) in Chicago's Millennium Park. The works in Anish Kapoor include such striking works as Past, Present, Future (2006), 1000 Names (1979-1980) and When I Am Pregnant (1992). This book, which accompanies an exhibition at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art, offers American readers a long-overdue opportunity to consider the extraordinary clarity, subtlety, and power of Kapoor's art.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49726694392081,"sku":"NGR9780262026598","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50278387646737,"sku":"GOR005671280","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50761661415697,"sku":"CIN0262026597VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52831782142225,"sku":"CIN0262026597A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53117398647057,"sku":"GOR014751917","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262026597.jpg?v=1751005344"},{"product_id":"anish-kapoor-uluru-kata-tjuta-book-anish-kapoor-9783958292604","title":"Anish Kapoor: Uluru \u0026 Kata Tjuta","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe powerful religious sites of Uluru and Kata Tjuta in the Northern Territory of Australia have been of deep interest to the artist Anish Kapoor since he first visited them in the 1980s. At Uluru he found a landscape of monumental scale which contained intimate and ritually resonant sites. A landscape of hollows and voids which he has read as resonant of primal or even \"original\" structure. Kapoor describes Uluru as \"an object with a perforated skin which lends itself to mythic meaning.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e On his visit in 1991, Kapoor noted in his sketchbook \"a white bump on a white wall.\" He later made the sculpture When I am Pregnant (1992), describing it as \"an object in a state of becoming.\" The idea of the proto-object is central to Kapoor's work. In 2012 Kapoor returned to Uluru and Kata Tjuta. These two photographic volumes trace his journey. They reveal through his eyes the artist's pre-occupation with form and pre-form, skin and surface in relation to deep interior.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Unbelievable things revealed themselves every day.

One of the most notable features of Kapoor’s works is the way they transcend their materiality. Pigment, stone, steel, wax and silicone are manipulated—carved, polished, saturated and molded—to the point of a dissolution of boundaries between the plastic and the immaterial. Color in Kapoor’s hands becomes an immersive phenomenon, containing its own spatial and illusive volume. Kapoor seeks estrangement, the erasure of ordinary references, in order to undermine the way that we are accustomed to see things and set them in a completely different perspective, creating works that act as catalysts of energy. This volume reveals the genesis of his artistic practice and investigates its language, providing new keys to its interpretation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53635634331921,"sku":"NLS9791254631362","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9791254631362.jpg?v=1780997462"},{"product_id":"anish-kapoor-book-anish-kapoor-9791254630075","title":"Anish Kapoor","description":"From the sublime to the corporeal: an exquisite career survey of Anish Kapoor  Widely considered one of the most influential sculptors working today, British artist Anish Kapoor (born 1954) here constructs a career survey of his works within the exquisite Renaissance architecture of the Venetian Gallerie dell’Accademia. The full span of his oeuvre is appraised here, from his spare monochrome sculptures that evoke sublimity and awe to his more recent expressionistic sculptures and paintings, often in shades of red or blue, that call to mind dispersed bodies. Famous works include his 1992 Descent into Limbo, which, in this iteration, sets a black threatening void directly into the gallery floor, as well as his experiments with the blackest black paint, Vantablack. This monograph also includes new works created using carbon nanotechnology, and recent paintings that reflect the visionary thrust of Kapoor’s current trajectory.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53635660153105,"sku":"NLS9791254630075","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9791254630075.jpg?v=1780997563"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-anish-kapoor.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
