Anish Kapoor at the Royal Academy

Superstar sculptor Anish Kapoor comes to London's Royal Academy this autumn, with a major solo exhibition.

This is the first time the Royal Academy has devoted all the space in its Main Galleries to a living artist. Don't miss this groundbreaking exhibition!

Anish Kapoor Exhibition Highlights

Highlights of the Anish Kapoor exhibition include:

• Svayambh: a vast mass of wax on rails, which moves through the galleries leaving a trail of wax on the floors and doorways
• Shooting in the Corner (2009): a cannon that shoots red wax into a corner at regular intervals, creating a changing exhibit as wax builds up on the walls and floor of the gallery

Also included in the show are early pigment sculptures, stainless steel reflective sculptures and an exciting new work situated in the Royal Academy's courtyard.
