Anish Kapoor (b. 1954, Bombay, lives and works in London) is one of the most celebrated sculptors of our time. Since the early 1980s, his investigation into notions of scale, volume, color and materiality has redefined contemporary sculpture. Kapoor is best known for his explorations into the concept of the void. His sculptures, installations and public art test the phenomenology of space, and have historically been characterized by intensely tactile or reflective materials, including colored pigments, wax, fiberglass, stone, polished stainless steel and PVC that resist any narrative or aesthetic reading. What interests Kapoor is what lies below the surface – in the potential of the object to be self-evident. With large-scale sculptural installations such as Marsyas (Tate Modern, 2002) and Cloud Gate (Chicago Millennium Park, 2004), viewers are drawn into powerful sensory encounters that merit total physical immersion.

In 1992 a group of three, now expanded to fifteen, artists formed an aesthetic around the idea of toys and play. Rejecting the recent emphasis on ego in art, they wrote a manifesto called “Mother” and used as their watchword, “Art is as changeable as the weather”. Their style is figurative, colorful and precise, the images like fragments of a fairy tale. The artists use pseudonyms and puppets to hide their true identities, all the while continuing to create work under their real names as well. They are identified with nicknames like “Iffio”, “Bogha”, and “Zigowst”. At present, nine Dutch artists, one South African, one Italian, two Americans, one Malaysian and one Mexican comprise the group. Since each nickname must begin with a different letter of the alphabet it would appear that twenty-six members will be the limit.
