Anish Kapoor
Gagosian Gallery (NY) 2017 ISBN 9781938748424 Acqn 28060
Hb 24x29cm 40pp col ills £41
In sculptures made during the last ten years, the primacy of materials and their qualities in
Kapoor’s process is revealed, whereby worlds are created in which geometric formulae are filled
and emptied in three dimensions. Minerals in rare hues and highly polished metals provide his
anthropomorphic forms with an ineluctable opulence. Conversation with Feng Boyi and Anish
Kapoor.

Ford's work explores where natural history and human culture intersect. His large-scale,
empirically precise, and highly detailed paintings consider the drama and history of animals as
they exist in the human imagination, revealing the deeply intertwined relationships between
nature and civilization. Using the visual language and medium of nineteenth century naturalist
illustrators such as John James Audubon, Ford masters the aesthetics of scientific truth only to
amplify and subvert them, creating provocative, and sometimes fanciful narratives out of facts.
