Untitled 1987 - 1988

Curator: Here we have an untitled piece by Anish Kapoor. The support measures 420 by 350 millimeters. Editor: Well, it’s striking! The redness dominates, but that stark center feels almost like a wound, a focal point of intense vulnerability. Curator: Kapoor's work often explores the void. The color itself is significant. Historically, red is associated with passion, sacrifice, but also violence. Editor: Absolutely. I see the crimson eruption as a potent symbol of suppressed rage, perhaps representing marginalized voices demanding acknowledgment and agency. Curator: It makes me think of the socio-political turbulence Kapoor's native India has experienced, and the ways in which art becomes a vehicle for commentary. Editor: It's a visceral reaction against the backdrop of colonialism and its lingering impact on identity. Curator: It's a thought-provoking conversation starter. Editor: One that leaves a lasting impression.
