Published 2023-02-22
"London" premiered in September 2020 on PBS.
A signature artist of his generation, the sculptor Anish Kapoor poetically transforms stainless steel, stone, wax, PVC, and colorful pigment into transcendent and mystifying forms that provoke fundamental questions about perception, consciousness, and spirituality. Capturing the iconic public sculpture Cloud Gate, popularly known as “The Bean,” in Chicago and a major retrospective in Beijing, this film is an intimate portrayal of a world-renowned artist.
Anish Kapoor was born in 1954 in Mumbai, India. Learn more about the artist at: art21.org/artist/anish-kapoor

Oh that Vantablack guy
-
Anish Kapoor represents the worst excesses of yes men approving and feeding off of each other's egos. Vantablack should have never been copyrighted, and using copyright law in some vain attempt to put it to artistic use in your own way is ethically wrong and a piss poor mentality to have. Shame on you Kapoor.
-
funny how the only memorable thing about this guy is being the "vantablack guy"
-
A humbug of an artist. Scribbles a concept on paper, then hands it to an engineer to make it possible. I had the displeasure of meeting him once. So thoroughly permeated with his own self-importance and with a very hefty messiah complex.
-
Screw that guy, trying to prohibit other artist from using a color 😂 kudos to MIT
-
This guy has no right to talk about art if he's hindering others from making art..
-
I love the guy and his work by why should he do that about the black color, it's such a shame remembering he's such an asshole about it each time I'm reminded of him
-
Imagine being an artist, finding (not inventing) a shade of paint, and asking to get copyright for it. You arent helping the art industry you greedy man.
-
bro anish kapoor is on my hit list I swear!
-
When you get fame and ego consumes you whole
-
The d-bag who wanted to gatekeep black paint 😂
-
Hello, does anyone know the title of the object that appeared at 1:08 minute?
-
So much for being rights to vantablack
-
Ohh is this the one who made the white chocolate room in a gallery? Haha. I love it.
-

-
I suppose the postman feels moonfell or he's falling down the rabbit hole through the looking glass; everyone on this street is called Anish Kapoor.
