Elected a Royal Academician in 1999, Anish Kapoor is internationally regarded as one of the most influential and pioneering sculptors of his generation and is celebrated for works which enter into a profound spiritual engagement with the viewer.

The centrepiece of the exhibition will be the monumental Svayambh. The piece is site specific and will be tailored to the architecture of the Royal Academy's Main Galleries, reflecting Kapoor's exploration of sculptural works that actively participate in their own formation.

Another highlight will be Shooting into the Corner, a work of extraordinary complexity and drama that evolves over time and will constantly change throughout the duration of the exhibition.

The exhibition will also contain a number of signature works by Kapoor from different moments in the artist's career, such as pigment works and stainless steel reflective sculptures, as well as newly created works, including a major sculpture in the Annenberg Courtyard.
