Anish Kapoor is a sculptor from Mumbai, India, and has spent much of his time living and working in London. The reflective piece above is an 89 inch concave disc made of stainless steel hexagons. The reflective quality is perfection and the stainless steel not only echos a visual reflection but because of its concave shape an aural chamber forms in front of the disc creating a cycle of sight and sound drawing the viewer into the piece.
Chicago is fortunate to have a Kapoor sculpture, The Cloud Gate which has become an iconic image of the city.
Taking this photo of Em Steel was tricky since the museum was open and busy at the time. We waited for the room to empty and I stood beside her with my iPhone. Thinking it would be a photo of the two of us I focused in on the center of the sculpture. It was only afterward when I realized that Em had been not only perfectly centered but split into a hexagonal kaleidescope image, while looking directly at the viewer. Yet another cycle of this dynamic Untitled piece.
