ANISH KAPOOR (B. 1954)Red Void 1993 fibreglass and pigment99 by 99 by 91.8 cm. 39 by 39 by 36 1/8 in. This work was executed in 1993. Footnotes:ProvenanceMcClain Gallery, HoustonPrivate Collection, Turkey Acquired directly from the above by the present ownerAnish Kapoor is arguably one of the most influential sculptors of his generation. Perhaps most renowned for his large-scale public sculptures that are both adventures in form and feats of engineering, Kapoor manoeuvres between vastly different scales, across numerous series working with diverse materials including pigment, mirrors, stone, wax, and PVC, exploring both biomorphic and geometric forms with a particular interest in the infinities and possibilities of space. Immersing the viewer in its deep vortex of beguiling, jewelled red, Red Void is a majestic example from the series of wall pigment and fibreglass works that Kapoor began in 1989. Fascinated by primary colour in its raw state, Kapoor first put these pigments to use in the collective work 1000 Names (1979-1985), where he applied liberal swathes of colour to fantastical geometric formations and allowed the granules to accumulate on the floor around the base of the sculptures. In the late 1980s, Kapoor began to apply these pigments to his sculptural voids, initially positioning them on the floor before suspending them upon the wall. Kapoor's wall works of the 1980s and 1990s are considered intimate precursors to his monumental public installations that have brought him worldwide acclaim.With its curved, sensuous form seeming to disappear into infinity, Red Void instils an overpowering, mystical sense of vertigo within the viewer as it projects out into the room. From a side angle, shadow can trick the eye into picturing a convex form, whereas approached straight-on, the bowl envelops the viewer's field of vision. The manipulation of space has been one of Kapoor's primary concerns throughout his career to date, and the artist has sought to investigate the non-material possibilities of emptiness and the potential of the 'void' through his diverse body of work. By cupping the space, it treats the space as an object itself. On space, the artist has remarked: 'You can see it with your eyes. Then you can't see it. Yet you know it. You know it with your body. Your imagination senses it. It's not like air' (the artist in conversation with Donna de Salvo, in Anish Kapoor, London and New York 2009, p. 404). Gazing into the dark, sensual and immaterial voids of these sculptures, infuses the viewer with a direct experience of the void solely through the sensual medium of pure colour. Kapoor's aim with this series of works, is to awaken in the viewer an awareness of immateriality through their own inner experience. In this sense these works are like existential gateways, strange meeting points between the immaterial and material worlds, between the viewer's innate sense of self and of infinity and nothingness. The large cavity in Red Void opens up a view into an un-defined space characterised only by the deep red of the dry pigment; and here one could even believe that the infinite void of the cavity is contained on the other side of the finite space of the wall. Born in Bombay in 1954, to an Iraqi-Jewish mother and a Hindu father, Kapoor has always drawn on the spiritual and mythological heritage of his upbringing. After a brief spell in Israel, he moved to London in 1973 and studied at Hornsey College of Art and the Chelsea School of Art. He first gained critical recognition in the 1980s for his biomorphic sculptures and installations made with materials as varied as, stone, aluminium, and resin, that appeared to challenge gravity, depth, and perception. In 1990 he represented Britain at the 44th Venice Biennale with Void Field, 1989, a grid of rough sandstone blocks each with an enigmatic black hole penetrating its top surface and was subsequently awarded the Premio Duemila for Best Young Artist. A year later in 1991 he was honoured with the Turner Prize. Kapoor's body of art has served and continues to conjure a powerful sense of mysticism. Through his use of illusion, the dizzying power of the sublime and the seductive force of colour, sculptures like Red Void are persuasive in their mythologising of the world, investing it with Romantic mystery and meaning. This present work embarks on a revolutionary path in which the autonomy of pure colour and the exploration of infinite space and the void are celebrated. Today Kapoor's works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., Fondazione Prada in Milan, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
