Anish Kapoor at Palazzo Manfrin
342 Fondamenta Venier Venezia
May 5 – August 9, 2026
In conjunction with the 61st Art Biennale, renowned British-Indian contemporary artist Anish Kapoor unveils an extraordinary solo exhibition within the historic sixteenth-century halls of the magnificent Palazzo Manfrin. The exhibition presents an extensive retrospective featuring large-scale installations and intricate architectural models, retracing five decades of the artist’s prolific career. Internationally celebrated for his monumental sculptures that continuously challenge spatial perception, Kapoor showcases some of his most iconic works alongside new creations crafted from stainless steel and reflective materials. The exhibition explores the delicate boundary between sculpture and architecture, revealing how physical space can be transformed and reimagined through form, light, and reflection. The dialogue between the contemporary aesthetic of the artworks and the Renaissance character of the Venetian palace creates a striking contrast, offering visitors an immersive and deeply contemplative visual experience.
