Anish Kapoor, Ascension (Red), 2010

No, Anish Kapoor didn’t take over the Guggenheim, but if this digital print is anything to go by, he should. It was Kapoor’s submission for a 2010 exhibition held at the awe-inspiring, Frank Lloyd Wright-designed museum, which saw 193 artists, architects and designers create imagined works that intervened with the building’s iconic inner spiral. The Indian-British artist conjured up a typically vibrant and imposing vision: a burst of scarlet smoke billowing from the rotunda floor to the skylight high above.
