Note du spécialiste

‘The object seems to be coming out of the ground or the wall, the powder defining a surface, implying that there is something below the surface, like an iceberg poking out of the subconscious’
(A. Kapoor in interview with C. Lewallen, reproduced in ‘Anish Kapoor’, in View, VII no. 4, San Francisco 1991).
