Exhibition History: The Metropolitan Museum of Art [The Met Breuer]. "Modernism on the Ganges: Raghubir Singh Photographs," October 10, 2017–January 2, 2018. (another example) Literature: Paragon catalogue, Vol. I, p. 130-133 Measurements: Artwork: 20 inches (vertical) x 23.1 inches (horizontal Framed: 22.5 inches (vertical) x 25.5 inches (horizontal) x 1.25 inch (depth) Kapoor is known for sculptural installations that create an environment in which the viewer's body and mind are transformed by the subtle power of color, shape, and light. His portfolio 15 Etchings provides a similar sensorial experience, with its sensual surfaces and rainbow of deep hues. Kapoor works with a minimalist vocabulary of clean lines and forms, even though the resulting installations are generally massive in size. Born in Bombay, Kapoor has lived in London since the 1970s. In 1991, he won the prestigious Turner Prize, the top award in England given to visual artists. -Courtesy of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Described by the artist as an ‘interior landscape’, this suite of etchings alludes to both physical presence and psychological space. The etchings are printed using a combination of spitbite and aquatint processes, two opposing techniques in which the etched surface of the plate creates positive and negative forms respectively. The exploration of polarities; solid and intangible forms, positive and negative space, presence and absence; is evident in Kapoor’s sculpture at the time, such as Abstract Box, 1995, also included in the SLG collection. The artist explained: “I’ve moved towards an emptying out of the form, towards a vacant space. I’m trying to find that in these prints.” -Courtesy of the South London Gallery Anish Kapoor Biography Anish Kapoor was born in 1954 in Mumbai, and lives and works in London.

Venice Biennale: XLIV Esposizione Internazionale D'arte (Hand signed by Kapoor)
By Anish Kapoor
Located in New York, NY
Rare collectors' item: Anish Kapoor Venice Biennale: XLIV Esposizione Internazionale D'arte Biennale Di Venezia (Hand signed and inscribed by Anish Kapoor), 1990 HISTORIC signed poster published on the occasion of Kapoor representing Great Britain at the Venice Biennale Offset lithograph poster (Hand signed, inscribed to Nadine and dated 2016) Boldly signed, inscribed and dated by Anish Kapoor on the lower right front 33 × 23 inches Unframed Boldly signed and inscribed by Anish Kapoor on the lower right front for the present owner, Nadine, so provenance is direct. Accompanied by gallery issued Certificate of Guarantee This offset lithograph poster was published on the occasion of Anish Kapoor's exhibition "XLIV Esposizione Internazionale D'Arte" at the Biennale Di Venezia from May 27 to September 30, 1990. Hand signed posters by Kapoor are quite elusive. The poster is two sided as it was published on the occasion of the artist's participation in the 1990 Venice Biennale (the verso has his lengthy biography), and it bears the original folds as issued. British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor was chosen to represent Britain at the first Biennale of the 1990s. He had been exhibiting since 1980 but it was this show that brought him widespread recognition on the international stage. Sixteen huge sandstone blocks dominated the Pavilion’s main room; they were so heavy that the floor had to be reinforced with supports. Kapoor had started working in stone in the late 1980s and each block in Void Field (1989) has a hole filled with another motif in his work, the powdered blue pigment used in Indian religious ceremonies. The same vibrant tones, which was also inspired also by Yves Klein’s statement bold blue colour, were used in his low-lying slate sculpture, A Wing at the Heart of Things (1990), in the back gallery of the Pavilion; this work is now part of Tate’s collection. “Venice is an interchange of East and West, reflecting the way Kapoor borrows from both cultures” said Henry Meyric Hughes, British Council. Kapoor’s exhibition also wove together references to spiritualism and eroticism, with the red slit in the Pavilion's wall, entitled The Healing of St. Thomas (1989), alluding to the saint that doubted Jesus’ resurrection...
