Great success for the exhibition Anish Kapoor. Untrue Unreal, which exceeded 80,000 visitors. Opened to the public on Oct. 7, 2023, and still open to visitors until Feb. 4, 2024, the exhibition, promoted and organized by Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and curated by Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi General Director Arturo Galansino, unfolds between the Renaissance courtyard of the museum’s headquarters and the rooms of the piano nobile, in a path between monumental installations, intimate environments and disturbing forms that aims to create an original and engaging dialogue between the art of Anish Kapoor (Mumbai, 1954), architecture and the public.

In Anish Kapoor’s art, the unreal(unreal) mixes with the improbable(untrue), transforming or negating the common perception of reality. He invites us to explore a world in which the boundaries between true and false dissolve, opening up to the dimension of the impossible. His works transcend their materiality. Pigment, stone, steel, wax and silicone, to name but a few of the materials he works with, are manipulated, sculpted, polished, saturated and treated questioning the boundary between plasticity and immateriality. Color in his works is not simply matter and hue, but becomes an immersive phenomenon, endowed with its own volume, spatial and illusory at the same time.
