Description:
A sumptuously produced album of Kapoor's never-before-published photographs, elucidating the continuity of the artist's visual worldview across mediums
British artist Anish Kapoor (born 1954) is celebrated across the globe for creating sculptures and paintings that are both sensorially engaging and intellectually provocative. Through adventurous artistic experimentation, he has forged innovative ways of using a wide range of materials--such as PVC skins, mirrors, wax and stone--across various, often unexpected, scales. This clothbound book, with an introduction by the American psychoanalyst Christopher Bollas, is the first to showcase Kapoor's photographs, taken over many years. It reveals photography as an intimate extension of the artist's wider practice--a space of contemplation in which perception, chance and material presence converge. At once personal and expansive, the book offers an unprecedented insight into the visual thinking of one of the most influential artists of our time.
