Anish Kapoor (born 1954) is a British-Indian sculptor known for large-scale works that play with form, color, and reflection. Born in Mumbai, he moved to London in the early 1970s to study at the Hornsey College of Art and Chelsea School of Art. His early work used raw pigment powder to coat simple biomorphic forms in vivid blues, reds, and yellows.
Kapoor's Cloud Gate (2006), a 110-ton polished steel sculpture in Chicago's Millennium Park (nicknamed "The Bean"), became one of the most photographed public artworks in the world. He won the Turner Prize in 1991 and has created major installations at the Royal Academy, Versailles, and the 2012 London Olympics (the ArcelorMittal Orbit tower).
