Anish Kapoor in Versailles

Kapoor at Palais de Versailles
British-Indian sculptor Kapoor(1954) was asked to show his creations in the gardens of the palace in Versailles. He decided to create a dialogue with André Le Nôtre(1613-1700), the French architect of the gardens(1662-1690).

Known for three-dimensional objects in steel, fiberglass and stone with voids and excavations, Kapoor wants to divert the public from the material to the immaterial, the visible and invisible.

Although it had previously been shown in Milan (2011), Dirty Corner caused some commotion because the artist had called it the queen's vagina.


To be seen until the first of November.
