Anish Kapoor



The work of Anish Kapoor has influenced my thoughts and creativity.  His Cloud Gate can be found in AT&T Plaza in the United States.  The piece is made of highly polished reflective steel which is meant to resemble a drop of mercury hovering at the point of landing on a plaza on the park.  The curved, mirror like surface of the sculpture provides striking reflections of visitors, the city skyline, particularly the historic Michigan Avenue “Streetwall” and the sky.  The cost of the piece was 23million dollars! ( info taken from You Tube)  Not a budget I will have.
