Kapoor has stated that his aim is to make objects and installations that look as if imported 'from another world'. The artist has used the entire length of Tate Modern's massive Turbine Hall, which measures 155m (550ft) long, 23 m (75ft) wide and 35m (115 ft) high.
Born in 1954 in Bombay, India, Kapoor was educated at Chelsea School of Art and has lived and worked in London since the early 1970s. He is one of the most influential sculptors of his generation and won the Premio Duemila prize at the XLIV Venice Biennale in 1990. One year later, he was awarded the Turner Prize, and in 2001 received an Honorary Fellowship at the Royal Institute of British Architecture.
