Anish Kapoor

Explores the concept of land ownership and how it has shaped history, examining how people fight over, steward, and occasionally share land, and what humanity's proprietary relationship with land means for the future. "Land examines in depth how we determine where the land lies, how we acquire it, how we steward it, how and why we fight over it, and, finally, how we can, and on occasion do, come to share it. Ultimately, Winchester confronts the essential questions: who actually owns the world's land, how much of it do we really need, and why does it matter?" -- Inside front jacket flap.

"This illustrated book traces Kapoor's artistic development during a career spanning more than thirty years. Incisive new texts by eminent observers explore the philosophical issues pertinent to the artist's work, and an illustrated chronology and an anthology of previously published texts complete this examination of Kapoor's place in the history of modern sculpture and in the context of contemporary practice."--BOOK JACKET.
