Anish Kapoor and his “The bean”

Overview

Anish Kapoor, a British-Indian sculptor born in Bombay, India, is one of the most important figures in contemporary British sculpture. Although he has been living and working in London, England, he integrates the traditional spirit of India with the essence of Western art tradition in his works, reflecting his deep understanding of both cultures. Millennium Park in Chicago has one of the largest outdoor stainless steel sculptures in the world—Cloud Gate, a very famous sculpture and a tourist attraction in Chicago, is his work.
