The Bean Sculpture by Anish Kapoor

Project: The Bean Sculpture
Location: Chicago, Millenium Park
Artist (Sculptor): by Anish Kapoor

I just really want one of these for every city around, or at least more of his mirror, sculptures, which the artist is famous for. Kapoor's pieces are frequently simple, curved forms, usually monochromatic and brightly coloured. Most often, the intention is to engage the viewer, evoking mystery through the works' dark cavities, awe through their size and simple beauty, tactility through their inviting surfaces and fascination through their reflective facades. His work is collected worldwide, notably by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, Fondazione Prada in Milan, the Guggenheim in Bilbao, the De Pont Foundation in the Netherlands and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan.
