Surprise in store as Anish Kapoor’s ‘reflective’ UK exhibition opens – FT
22 July 2020
A surprise is in store. Anish Kapoor’s Houghton Hall exhibition, which opened this week, is restrained, well-mannered and low-key. Thoughtful, respectful of its surroundings, it comprises 20 and more sculptures, mostly made in earthily, solidly natural materials — limestone, granite, marble, onyx. They are sited in the house and gardens by curator Mario Codognato in ways that invite a quiet and contemplative mood, at the same time as they reflect the beauty and opulence spread before us in Palladian splendour.
