What colour do you think this is? If you’re struggling, that’s because it’s many at once 🔵🟣

‘Burple to Red’ (2024) by artist Anish Kapoor is a concave mirror that distorts the surrounding room. The piece manipulates the light and colour of its reflection which is then dissolved into a gradient of blue, purple, and red.

Come see Anish Kapoor’s awe-inspiring sculptures in person as his exhibition is open NOW!

'Will this mountain plonk down on your head, making you a martyr to modern art? It’s hard to create a sense of danger in a gallery when we are so inured to outrage and extremity, but this had me trembling with horror – and delight.'

What happens when a mountain descends from the sky? ⛰️

Artist Anish Kapoor turns a natural structure entirely on its head disrupting your expectations of gravity and order, creating a sense of unease.

Titled ‘Mount Moriah at the Gate of the Ghetto’ (2022), the sculpture's deep red, eruptive texture carries a story of biblical drama and chaos. 🩸

Catch Anish Kapoor’s work in our gallery this Tuesday, coinciding with the celebration of Jewish Culture Month.

Have you spotted the ‘Thinking Fountains’ outside the Hayward Gallery? 💭⛲️

Artist designed these bronze figures and cascading waterfall to create a contrast to the Brutalist architecture of our site. Their spouting water is made to represent the stream of human consciousness and how a visit to an art gallery can widen our viewpoint!

What do you think these fountains are thinking about? 🤔

A painting that erupts before your very eyes ⛰️🔥

The Dark (2021) by artist Anish Kapoor shows a scorching surface that oozes a lava-like liquid - but is it volcanic or bodily?

Painting has always been part of Anish Kapoor's creative language, his recent paintings using palettes of deep reds and obsidian blacks evoke a dark and violent energy.

Discover his world of mystery for yourself when our new exhibition opens on Tue 16 Jun!

We dare you to look into this void 👁️⬛

Anish Kapoor’s sculpture Untitled (1992) is made from a rough block of sandstone. A fine rectangular opening has been meticulously carved into one side, revealing a void of uncertain depth at its core…

What could be in there?

Exploring the mysterious relationship between an object’s outer form and what lies within it is still key to the artist’s practice - discover more when our Anish Kapoor exhibition opens on Tue 16 Jun!

Acclaimed American artist and activist Nan Goldin is coming to the Hayward Gallery 📸

'You Never Did Anything Wrong' marks Nan's first institutional exhibition in the UK in over 20 years 👏 Closing out our 75th anniversary, this exhibition is a raw and unflinching look at personal relationships, addiction and q***r communities - 'a record of my life that no one can revise'.
