Curator: At first glance, the darkness seems to pull you in. Editor: Indeed. This is an untitled print by Anish Kapoor, part of the Tate collection. The support measures 430 by 380 millimeters. Curator: The textures of the ochre background, combined with the velvety black, suggest a deep and considered labor process, perhaps a comment on the physical act of art-making itself. Editor: I'd suggest the void presents a reflection of Kapoor's larger installations and the public's engagement with constructed spaces and institutional contexts that lend authority to these works. Curator: Perhaps it's a dialogue between the hand of the artist and the art market's need for production. Editor: Ultimately, these small prints allow for wider access to Kapoor's aesthetic, democratizing art consumption. Curator: A fascinating interplay of intent and material. Editor: Yes, something for us to consider further.

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.
