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.
