THE LEAD

Financial Times Interviews Anish Kapoor on Hayward Gallery Exhibition

via Lisson Gallery

Anish Kapoor discussed his upcoming exhibition at London’s Hayward Gallery in a Financial Times interview published on 9 June 2026. The 72-year-old artist described a large crimson mountain installation titled “Mount Moriah at the Gate of the Ghetto” (2022) that will hang from the ceiling with its peak near the floor, originally shown at Palazzo Manfrin in Venice. Assistants in his Camberwell studio are assembling the work, which Kapoor may title “Ha Makom” in Hebrew, referencing place and God in the Kabbalah. The piece connects to themes of sacrifice and the biblical site of Mount Moriah.

A thin Sunday wire leaves only the nine June Financial Times interview with Anish Kapoor on his Hayward crimson mountain as the day’s institutional note.
