Anish Kapoor's 1985 Sculpture 'Mother as Mountain' at Walker Art Center

Anish Kapoor created the sculpture 'Mother as Mountain' in 1985. The work measures 140 × 275 × 105 cm and is constructed from wood, gesso, and pigment. It is housed in the collection of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. The artwork was documented on the artcritical website on December 23, 2011. This piece represents Kapoor's exploration of form and material during the mid-1980s. The sculpture's substantial dimensions and mixed media approach characterize his early artistic practice. Kapoor's work from this period often engaged with organic forms and spiritual themes. The Walker Art Center's acquisition highlights the institution's commitment to contemporary sculpture.
