I love the third shot! You come to the opening to see and be seen with the beautiful people and the artwork magnifies your calves so they look like a giant ass of cellulite! Brilliant!
As for the show, I wasn’t a big fan of the some of the red works in the 24th street gallery — the long, lumpy piece in the middle seems not to be up to Kapoor’s usual super-high standards of production finish. Perhaps that’s deliberate, but to me the work just felt ungainly and out of place. The mirror works in the 21st street space are a lot more captivating, although it does feel a little like “more of the same” from him. Is Kapoor running out of ideas?
