A final look into Anish Kapoor's magical spaces

On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the Lehmbruck Museum bids farewell to the exhibition Anish Kapoor with a special finissage. The audience will experience the last day of the exhibition in an atmosphere of deep red wax, shining mirrors, and the most intense black - accompanied by conversations, music, wine, and pastries.

Sculpture as an immersive experience

Anish Kapoor, born in 1954 in Mumbai, is one of the most influential artists of our time. His painting, sculpture, and installation connect body, space, and consciousness. Pigment works, mirror sculptures, and monumental pieces create an aesthetic experience in which perception, light, and material constantly change.

Talk Kapoor to me: Artwork contemplation in dialogue

As part of the finissage, conversations in front of the originals invite participants to examine Kapoor's art more closely. The formats Talk Kapoor to me will take place from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM and from 5 PM to 6 PM. They provide art-historical and personal access to an exhibition that links identity, memory, vulnerability, and infinity.

Jazz between mirrors and shadows

At 4:30 PM and 6 PM, a jazz intervention will set particular tonal accents in the exhibition. Music and sculpture enter into an immediate dialogue: sound moves through the architecture while mirrors, wax, and dark surfaces intensify the exhibition atmosphere.

The Lehmbruck Museum as a resonance space

Kapoor has consciously related his exhibition to the architecture of the Lehmbruck Museum. The modern building becomes an active component of the curation. Light and shadow, spatial effects, and materiality guide visitors through a parcours that irritates familiar viewing habits and opens new perspectives on contemporary art.

Conclusion: An art experience to finish

The finissage combines intensive artwork contemplation, cultural education, music, and social gathering. Those who have not yet experienced Anish Kapoor's exhibition in Duisburg will have an impressive opportunity for a direct aesthetic experience on the last day. The exhibition ends on this day – a visit to the Lehmbruck Museum is therefore particularly worthwhile.
