Anish Kapoor To Create 911 Memorial

Anish Kapoor is creating a sculpture to the British victims of the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center. The sculpture will be placed in a square near the WTC site. “The sculpture will be crafted from a block of black granite into which a vertical chamber is carved of approximately 1m [3.3ft] by 2.5m [8.2ft] by 80cm [2.6ft]. The inner chamber is polished to give a mirrored surface,” said the Bombay-born artist. The chamber reflects light so as to form a column, which hovers, ghost-like, in the void of the stone.”
