Those of you who missed the 2009 Kapoor exhibit in London are in luck: this fall Dutch modern art museum De Pont is opening a big exhibition on the English artist Anish Kapoor. Reason for the exhibition was the 2010 purchase of ‘Vertigo’, one of the most popular pieces of De Pont’s collection. In total the museum owns five works by Kapoor.
This is not the first Anish Kapoor exhibition at De Pont, back in 1995 the museum also exhibited fifteen large sculptures, including the installation ‘Shooting into the Corner’, which will also be part of the upcoming exhibition. Among the other works that will be displayed are five aluminium sculptures, such as ‘S-Curve III’, as well as several works made of resin, like ‘Slug’. All the works pictured here will be exhibited. So excited for this!!
