Lisson Gallery: Anish Kapoor Exhibition Opens at Hayward Gallery June 16, 2026
The Hayward Gallery will present an exhibition of works by Anish Kapoor from June 16 to October 18, 2026. The show marks the artist's return to the London venue after its 1998 survey of his work and forms a centrepiece of the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary programme. Curated by Ralph Rugoff, it includes new commissions and earlier pieces installed across the gallery, terraces and upper levels.
The Signal
The exhibition signals Kapoor’s continued institutional prominence in the UK market, where major museum placements often precede secondary-market strength for large-scale sculpture. Collectors and curators will note the focus on perceptual works using Vantablack and mirrored steel, media that have driven recent private and public acquisitions. The 28-year gap since the previous Hayward survey underscores the rarity of such comprehensive presentations for an artist of this stature.
