Untitled 1990

Editor: This striking 'Untitled' piece by Anish Kapoor features bold color contrasts, using what appears to be mixed media on paper. The texture looks really unique. What's your take on it? Curator: The work, lacking a specific date, prompts us to focus on the enduring qualities of Kapoor's production. What impact does the contrast between the deep, absorptive black and the textured red have on your perception of the materials? Editor: I guess it makes me think about the labor involved in creating such depth, physically and conceptually. Does Kapoor's process influence how we should value this piece? Curator: Absolutely. By emphasizing the tactile and material qualities, Kapoor elevates the role of making, prompting us to reconsider the relationship between art, labor, and value. It’s not just about aesthetics. Editor: That's fascinating. I've never thought about art in that way before. Curator: Considering artistic production through a materialist lens truly changes how we engage with the artwork.
