Contemplating the expanse, the magic and the beauty of nature, Anish Kapoor’s ‘Sky Mirror’ brings the sky down to the earth. A dazzling feat of light and reflection – signature elements of Kapoor’s style – the work was the centrepiece of the artist’s Houghton Hall exhibition in 2020.
Unveiled in 2001, Sky Mirror was commissioned by the Nottingham Playhouse, and versions of the sculpture now exist all over the world, including at the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, Russia. A celebration of the ever-changing environment, it implores us to look up and around – a reminder that nature is the greatest work of art.
