In 2001, Sky Mirror, a large mirror piece that reflects the sky and surroundings, was commissioned from Anish Kapoor for a site outside the Nottingham Playhouse.


Since 2006, Cloud Gate, a 110-ton stainless steel sculpture with a mirror finish, has been permanently installed in Millennium Park in Chicago. Viewers are able to walk beneath the sculpture and look up into an omphalos or navel above them. In the autumn of 2006, a second Sky Mirror, was installed in Rockefeller Center, New York.

Soon to be completed are a memorial to the British victims of 9/11 in New York, and the design and construction of two subway stations in Naples. Kapoor has also been commissioned to produce five pieces of public art by Tees Valley Regeneration (TVR)[10] collectively known as the "Tees Valley Giants"

In 2010 a new Anish Kapoor sculpture called "Turning the World Upside Down, Jerusalem" was commissioned and installed at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The sculpture is described as a "16-foot tall polished-steel hourglass" and it "reflects and reverses the Jerusalem sky and the museum's landscape, a likely reference to the city's duality of celestial and earthly, holy and profane." Kapoor also designed the ArcelorMittal Orbit, a 115 metre spiral sculpture of the Olympic rings. Designed by Kapoor to commemorate the 2012 Olympic Games in London, the piece will be the largest example of public art in the UK when completed.

Anish Kapoor CBE RA (born 12 March 1954) is an Indian sculptor and Turner Prize Winner. Born in Bombay (Mumbai) Kapoor has lived and worked in London since the early 1970s where he moved to study art, first at the Hornsey College of Art and later at the Chelsea School of Art and Design. His most recent works are mirror-like, reflecting or distorting the viewer and surroundings.
