An exclusive tour of Anish Kapoor's studio

The Turner Prize winning scultor Anish Kapoor sells his work for millions around the world from a sprawling studio in south London. And he's given our Culture Editor Matthew Cain an exclusive tour. .

I wouldn't want to tour his facility, it may void my rights to buy the Pinkest Pink.

Guy signed exclusive rights to the use of Vantablack - a material with endless potential in artwork. I didn't know crippling the competition is a thing in art industry, unless you are fake.

I'm also a mediocre artist. Where can I sell my paintings for millions?

[GLYNDYER]

I think the point Hockney is making is that once a piece is wholly made by production assistants then it’s not really a piece with input from “the artist” so it’s no different than a piece of furniture. I would have to agree with him. Michelangelo or Renaissance artists wouldn’t pass off assistant works as their own. They at least put their mark on them.

Anish sounds exactly like I expected him to sound.

Who is here after yoongi's comeback trailer?

[kazee]

my take on art has come from nature, the impressionists, my father's painting and sculpting, and some random artists over the years. I've seen many forms of art and feel like art can serve many purposes. I feel anish is lucky now that's he's famous. He doesn't even need to know what he's making and people are going to pay millions.

20, 000 + views and no comments????
Factory art - the art that will lose a collector a lot of money.
Gutless fluff that will be eclipsed before he dies.

Lord! Thay British accent really adds to the whole snobbish nonsense that rich people say next to other rich people to tell that they all understand a piece but really everyone is just making things up. None of those pieces brought any emotions to me. None. Art should bring something. Let it be horror, joy, wonder, curiosity, all sort but it shouldn't make you feel completely uninterested.

i don’t get what all the drama is about? can someone explain what’s happening with this guy and other artists? i was watching a video abut a person drawing with a super black black and most of the comments were about this guy.

I find no skill in abstract art, but that is just me. i am the type of person who needs to see something recognizable. A two by six by 14 piece of wood cut in half, sprayed with varnish, one piece leaning against another, represents NOTHING but a piece of wood cut in half. What is art? Something that COMMUNICATES and draws the viewer INTO IT. A pile of sand or whatever, says nothing to me. -But people to the person who gets others to spend millions on such....
so BRAVO to that "artist". Who am I or anyone else to say? IF it COMMUNICATES, EVOKES EMOTION, I LABEL IT ART. It ( abstract Art ) simply isn't MY thing! That's all.

hes nothing but the most selfish person on earth

[kelsogirl]

Although I am not giving my opinion of his art, this is the only way I can find to comment on this man. He says today in a statement that if Shamima Begum and her friends were white schoolgirls from Wiltshire "would they be seen as terrorists or victims of terrorists. We have no doubt that we would be demanding that no expense be spared not a moment wasted in having them returned to the safety of their homes in England".

I am so sick of these people playing the race card. Does he not know that a young WHITE male Jack Letts has also been stripped of his citizenship for the same reason. Do your research!

I'm loving all the hate to this man in the comments👌 keep it up guys

[anmolajmani]

people he didn't has exclusive right to colour . he has buied the patent from a company

[mijekrill]

Anish Kapoor will die and his name will be lost to history because of his inability to care for or even create his own work, cloud gate what a generic blob his only name sake and yet literally anyone with a bean and silver paint can easily recreate in small scale.

One word for the "art" - Ugly

[dmsas]

Anish kapoor more like
Amish Winnie the poo

[heathhuston]

The guy should leave national affairs to the government and stick to making blue Peter models.
