Anish Kapoor (born 1954) is one of the most influential sculptors of his generation. Born in Bombay (Mumbai), India, Kapoor has lived and worked in London since the early 1970s when he moved to London to study art, first at the Hornsey College of Art and later at the Chelsea School of Art Design.

Kapoor rose quickly to prominence in the 1980s. He has since gained international acclaim, exhibiting extensively worldwide at venues such as Tate Gallery and Hayward Gallery in London, Kunsthalle Basel, Munich, Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin, Reina Sofia in Madrid, MAK Vienna, ICA Boston and Kunsthale Basel.

Solo exhibitions of his work have been held in the Tate and Hayward Gallery in London, Kunsthalle Basel in Switzerland, Reina Sofia in Madrid, the National Gallery in Ottawa, Musee des arts contemporains (Grand-Hornu) in Belgium, the CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art in Bordeaux and at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil in Brazil. His work is collected worldwide, notably by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, Fondazione Prada in Milan, the Guggenheim in Bilbao, the De Pont Foundation in the Netherlands and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan.

Kapoor represented Britain in the XLIV Venice Biennale in 1990, when he was awarded the Premio Duemila Prize and in 1991 he received the Turner Prize. He has undertaken a number of major large-scale installations and commissions including Marsyas for the Turbine Hall, which Cecil Balmond (of the acclaimed engineering firm ARUP) helped him to realise [1], Tate Modern. Aclaimed public sculptures include Cloud Gate, Millennium Park, Chicago, and Sky Mirror at the Rockefeller Centre, New York.

Anish Kapoor is a Royal Academician. He was awarded a CBE in 2003.

Kapoor is represented by the Lisson Gallery[2], London; Gladstone Gallery[3], New York and Galleria Continua[4] and Galleria Massimo Manini, Italy.
