Sculptor Anish Kapoor exhibits at Houghton Hall in old PM Robert Walpole's mansion
With Britain'southward coronavirus lockdown eased, sculptor Anish Kapoor can finally exhibit his work at Houghton Hall, 1 of the country's best-known stately homes.
Kapoor's exhibition of 24 sculptures was due go on evidence throughout the grounds and historic interiors of the hall in Norfolk, eastern England, in March but COVID-xix put paid to that program.
Still, Britain's further easing of lockdown on July 4 permitted the reopening of museums, galleries and heritage attractions.
The exhibition by Indian-born Kapoor, best known for the Orbit at the Olympic Park created for the London 2022 Olympics, includes major works in mirror and stone and carved marble pieces.
The artist said Houghton Hall, built in the 1720s for Prime Minister Robert Walpole, was an ideal setting.
"Without a doubt Houghton Hall is ane of the great monuments in a way ... of this country, so to be showing works in it, in the grounds here is marvellous," he said.
"It also has, I call back, very clear formality – the house addresses a long vista in a fairly long tradition of completely clear system. Sculpture does really work actually well in relation to that."
