Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor is one of the world’s leading contemporary artists. His bold, sensual sculptures take hold of the viewer and redefine the space or context in which they are created. Although frequently monumental in scale, Kapoor’s works are intimate – as if occupying the borderland between our inner world and external reality. He makes use of visual archetypes and metaphysical opposites, the eternal questions of being and non-being, destruction and birth. This volume presents Kapoor’s recent output and documents the genesis of the monumental sculpture made for the exhibition opening at Serlachius Museums, Finland, in summer 2026. There are also essays by Professor Rod Mengham and Professor Emeritus Esko Valtaoja, plus an interview with Anish Kapoor by the exhibition’s curator, art critic Timo Valjakka.
