Editor: This untitled print by Anish Kapoor presents two dark, amorphous forms connected by a narrow point, creating a sense of tension and balance. What do you see in the composition and materiality of this work? Curator: The composition hinges on a precarious equilibrium. Note how the textures—the granular darkness against the smooth paper—create a tactile experience, almost as if one could feel the weight of the forms. Do you perceive a deliberate manipulation of light and shadow? Editor: Yes, the stark contrast between the dark shapes and the surrounding space really emphasizes their volume. It's like a study in pure form. Curator: Precisely. Kapoor's manipulation of form invites viewers to contemplate the interplay between absence and presence, challenging our understanding of spatial relationships. Editor: That’s fascinating! I'll definitely look at Kapoor's work differently now, focusing more on his manipulation of form and texture. Curator: Indeed, a deeper appreciation of abstract form is key to understanding Kapoor's visual language.

This is one in a suite of thirteen etchings entitled Blackness from Her Womb. The suite was produced in an edition of thirty of which the first twelve were bound as books, and the remaining eighteen were presented unbound in boxed portfolios made of hand-dyed parchment. Tate’s suite is number twenty-five, and is one of the portfolio versions. Each of the thirteen prints is signed by the artist. The project was designed and printed by master engraver Jacob Samuel.
