Come Sunday when art lovers in India will have a rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of a selection of sculptures and installations of London-based artist Anish Kapoor at the first-ever showcase of his work in the country of his birth.
Exhibitions will be held at National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA), New Delhi on November 28 and Mehboob Film Studios in Mumbai on November 29.
As many as 25 of his unique works, which were brought to Mumbai and here in huge containers, will be put on display.
Kapoor’s unique style and Indian heritage have combined to make him one of the most engaging and distinctive artists in the world and the exhibition will be the first ever showcase of his work in India. He has been based in London since 1973, when he left India to pursue his art education.
The exhibitions are billed as the largest and most ambitious projects ever to be developed on Kapoor’s work. They will feature a selection of sculptures and installations which span the breadth of the artist’s career, from his early pigment-based sculptures of the 1980s right through to his most recent wax installations.
Each exhibition will focus on a different strand of Kapoor’s practice.

Eat chocolate to relieve chronic fatigue
London: For chocoholics, here’s one more reason to gorge on one or two bars daily — it may ease the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, a new study has claimed.
Researchers from the University of Hull and the Hull York Medical School in the UK have found that eating dark chocolate daily can help alleviate the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
CFS, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is a condition characterised by consistent fatigue for six months or more as well as a wide range of symptoms such as severe muscle pain, headaches, and poor memory. —PTI
