Editor: This untitled print by Anish Kapoor, held in the Tate Collections, presents a somewhat unsettling oval form. The muted tones create a sense of introspection. What do you make of this piece? Curator: The form evokes a sense of enclosure, perhaps alluding to societal constraints and the artist’s cultural background. Kapoor's exploration of negative space often reflects institutional power dynamics. Does the composition prompt you to consider these boundaries? Editor: I see what you mean! It definitely makes you think about what's inside versus what's outside. I'll definitely look at Kapoor's work differently now. Curator: Excellent! The public reception of Kapoor's art often sparks debates about cultural ownership and the role of institutions in shaping artistic narratives. Food for thought.

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.
