making great art available for everyone to enjoy through a series of
nation-wide installations in unusual locations including Rollright Stones in
Oxfordshire, a Sketchley’s in Salford, Selfridges Oxford Street in London
and Ely Cathedral.
Rollright Stones
Anish Kapoor (b.1954) Turning the world inside out, 1996 On
loan to the Rollright Stones, Oxfordshire from Bradford Museums, Galleries and
Heritage Acquired with a contribution of £20,000 from the Art Fund in
1997.
Anish Kapoor is one of Britain’s
foremost sculptors. Turning the world inside out is one of his first works
using steel and embodies his preoccupation with female and male symbolism with
its womb-like shape and indented crown. It also highlights his fascination with
darkness and light. The reflective surface acts as a metaphor for the cyclical
nature of cosmic regeneration, another of the artist’s
themes.
The Art Fund – the UK’s largest art
charity
The work of art on display here is one of
half a million we have helped UK museums and galleries acquire since 1903. Find
