Breathing Blue

 

Anish Kapoor / Breathing Blue

Offset lithograph on 350gsm paper
From a limited edition of 100. Hand numbered (verso).
Excellent, 'as new' condition.
Notes: A beautifully vibrant piece by Sir Anish Kapoor, and one which plays right into the 'classic Kapoor' motif the artist generates by operating on the boundaries of pigment, stone and metal. Kapoor's work has always blurred the boundaries between architecture and sculpture, and his pigment pieces such as this one this continue to do so. His larger works such as his 'Cloud Gate' piece in Chicago (AKA ' The Chicago Bean') and the Sky Mirror that was installed at the Rockefeller Center back in 2007 continue to push this narrative further in a more public setting.

Size: 30 cm X 42 cm
Period: 2020

 

Bio

 

Anish Kapoor is one of the most influential sculptors of his generation. Kapoor was born in Mumbai, India in 1954 and lives and works in London. He studied at Hornsey College of Art, London, UK (1973–77) followed by postgraduate studies at Chelsea School of Art, London, UK (1977–78). Kapoor is perhaps most famous for public sculptures that are both adventures in form and feats of engineering, Kapoor manoeuvres between vastly different scales, across numerous series of work.

Kapoor won the Turner Prize in 1991 and has honorary fellowships from the University of Wolverhampton, UK (1999), the Royal Institute of British Architecture, London, UK (2001) and an honorary doctorate from the University of Oxford, UK (2014). Anish Kapoor was awarded a CBE in 2003 and a Knighthood in 2013 for services to visual arts.
