对卡普尔庞大作品中迄今鲜为人知的一面的全面评价

这本400页的著作是首本深入探讨英国艺术家安尼什·卡普尔（生于1954年，原文中的1934年应为笔误）绘画作品的出版物。它为我们独特地揭示了卡普尔创作语言中的一面，这一面在过去十年里日益成为焦点，同时自他上世纪70年代末开始职业生涯以来，就一直是其工作室实践中不可或缺的一部分。在抽象与具象之间的边缘作品中，卡普尔展现了一种超越表面的渴望，这种渴望在他广受国际喜爱的雕塑作品中得到了著名体现。图像、表面、空间和时间有时以精致的形态，但更多时候以强烈的对称形式出现。

本书收录了包括著名思想家朱莉娅·克里斯蒂娃和霍米·K.巴巴在内的多位学者的文章，卡普尔曾与他们合作阐述自己独特的视觉语言。这本详尽的调查研究追踪了卡普尔艺术轨迹的发展，直至他创作出迄今为止最为大胆的一系列作品。

A massive appraisal of a hitherto little-known aspect of Kapoor’s prodigious output

This 400-page volume is the first publication to explore in depth the painting of British artist Anish Kapoor (born 1934). It offers a unique insight into a language that has increasingly been a focus over the last 10 years, but which has also been an integral part of his studio practice since his career began in the late 1970s. In works that sit on the cusp between abstraction and figuration, Kapoor reveals a desire to go beyond the surface that has been so famously explored in his international beloved sculptural works. Image, surface, space and time appear in sometimes delicate but often violent symmetry.

With essays from such as acclaimed thinkers as Julia Kristeva and Homi K. Bhabha, with whom the artist has collaborated in articulating his distinctive visual language, this extensive survey traces the trajectory that has led Kapoor to his boldest body of work to date.
