Kapoor's concavities

As soon as I got back to London I wanted, even before catching up on sleep, to go see some famous-name art. What better than the sky mirrors by Anish Kapoor in Kensington Gardens?

The one in the Round Pond is called Sky Mirror, Red -
Non-object (Spire) reflects a part of itself -
Sky Mirror is reflect in the water below, and transforms itself all the time. The reflected sky seems to be expanding as you watch -
Perhaps the most intriguing is C-Curve -- there's nothing quite like seeing yourself reflected -
... or distorted, or upside-down --
I was intrigued by the way the plinth carried on - or didn't - in the reflection, in various views.

Turning the World Upside Down is reflecting seasonal changes till 13 March 2011.

  1. Thank you for showcasing this exhibition Margaret. We are spending a weekend in London in November so I shall make a note to try and see this. We have one of Anish Kapoor's sky mirrors in Nottingham and it is amazing.
