Born in Mumbai, India in 1954, Anish Kapoor is one of the most influential artists of our time. He has lived and worked in London since the mid-seventies, and now divides his time between homes and studios in London and Venice. He has been represented by Galleria Continua since 2003. For the entire length of career, this contemporary artist has been fascinated with the notions of shape and void, perspective, light and the absence thereof. Kapoor, who works across numerous scales with diverse materials such as mirror, stone, wax or PVC, relentlessly explores geometric and biomorphic shapes while demonstrating a singular interest in negative space. “That’s what I am interested in: the void, the moment when this is not a hole, it is a space full of what isn’t there,” he explains.
His works are permanently exhibited in the most important collections and museums around the world from the Museum of Modern Art in New York to the Tate in London; the Prada Foundation in Milan and the Guggenheim Museums in Venice, Bilbao and Abu Dhabi. Recent solo exhibitions have been held at Serlachius Manor, Mänttä, Finland (2026); Hayward Gallery, London (2026); Palazzo Manfrin, Venice, Italy (2026); Lehmbruck Museum, Duisburg, Germany (2026); Jewish Museum, New York, U.S.A.(2025); Cidade Matarazzo, São Paulo, Brazil (2024); Liverpool Cathedral, U.K (2024); ARKEN, Ishøj, Denmark (2024) Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, Italy (2023), Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia and Palazzo Manfrin, Venice, Italy (2022), Modern Art Oxford, UK (2021); Houghton Hall, Norfolk, UK (2020); Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany (2020); Central Academy of Fine Arts Museum and Imperial Ancestral Temple, Beijing (2019); Fundación Proa, Buenos Aires (2019); Serralves, Museu de Arte Contemporanea, Porto, Portugal (2018); University Museum of Contemporary Art (MUAC), Mexico City (2016); Château de Versailles, France (2015); Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center, Moscow, (2015); Gropius Bau, Berlin (2013); Sakip Sabanci Muzesi, Istanbul (2013); Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney (2012).
Anish Kapoor represented Great Britain at the 44th Venice Biennale in 1990, where he was awarded the Premio Duemila Prize. In 1991 he won the Turner Prize and has gone on to receive numerous international awards and honours. In April 2022, Anish Kapoor was the first British artist to be honoured with a major exhibition at the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice, Italy.
