Flashback & Anish Kapoor

Event Details

Flashback is a major series of touring exhibitions from the Arts Council Collection, Southbank Centre. Taking as its starting point the Collection's founding principle of supporting emerging artists through the purchase of their work, the series showcases internationally renowned British artists whose works have been acquired by the Collection.

The second artist in the series is renowned artist and Turner Prize winner, Anish Kapoor.  Kapoor's sensual and beguiling sculptures are created using a range of materials including pigment, stone, polished stainless steel and wax. Following on from the critical acclaim of his show at the Royal Academy of Arts in 2009, this Flashback exhibition gives an opportunity to explore Kapoor's earlier works alongside recent pieces lent directly by the artist. The exhibition includes a selection of major sculptures on loan from UK collections, and from the Arts Council Collection.  When the show comes to Nottingham Castle we will be displaying works not yet shown at the other touring venues.  The exhibition has already shown in Manchester and Edinburgh and will tour onto Yorkshire after the run in Nottingham.
