BOSTON—Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor is famous the world over for his audaciously sized public sculptures, such as Cloud Gate (2006), in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Little known to his American audience, however, are the Turner Prize winner’s more intimate pieces. Attempting to redress this oversight, the Institute of Contemporary Art, in Boston, is staging “Anish Kapoor: Past, Present, Future,” on view through September 7. The show comprises 13 smaller pieces made between 1979 through 2007, including the artist’s haunting 3-D abstractions in materials such as fiberglass, steel, resin and wax. A bit to the south, at the New York Botanical Gardens, in the Bronx, 20 immense bronzes by U.K. sculptor Henry Moore (1898–1986) are spread across a 250-acre outdoor expanse for “Moore in America,” through November 2. It’s nice to see that the granddaddy of modern British sculpture—long overlooked in avant-garde circles—is sharing the spotlight with Kapoor and a new generation of art world darlings.
