Like a malevolent, mechanised alien looming over the Olympic Park. Not Anish Kapoor’s finest moment.
Great Photo, and I love the description, although not sure I agree with it.
Thanks. I’m not it’s biggest fan (as you may have guessed). Viewing platform + sculpture + artist + massive corporate sponsor = a pretty ugly outcome.
I disagree. Perhaps if the bland financial tower blocks that frame the sculpture had as a third as much braveness in there design, it would make for the better. Kapoor simply highlights the bland functionality we put up with. Bravo him……(ps, I don’t really have a clue about these things)
