The famous British-Indian sculptor, Turner Prize winner, Knight Bachelor and current member of the Royal Academy of Arts brought only four of his works to Moscow for the first time - but the most significant ones. More than 2000 people came to congratulate the sculptor on the Russian premiere at the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Centre. In addition to artists, art critics, famous collectors and curators, fans of Anish Kapoor's work included many other stars - connoisseurs of sovrisk: Fyodor Bondarchuk, Ingeborga Dapkunaite, Vladimir Pozner, Alena Doletskaya, Ksenia Rappoport, Olga Slutsker, Irina Hakamada, Andrei Makarevich, Mark Garber, Teresa Mavika, Zelfira Tregulova, Yan Yanovsky, Olga Zakharova, Gor Nakhapetyan, Sofiko Shevardnadze, Anton Belov, Olga Samodumova, Charles and Olga Thompson, Vika Gazinskaya, Vadim Dymov, Sofia Kapkova.
With the total organisational and PR support of DEPARTÁMENT, there was not only a closed vernissage for invited guests, but also a large press conference with the sculptor. As a result - 60 journalists at the opening and about 500 publications in online and printed, popular, specialised and federal publications. We would also like to express our gratitude to our partner NEXT CONNECT.
"Champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, two cocktail bars and several hundred people. In the anteroom of the museum, over a glass of da selebrity spotting, you can stay for a long time without ever reaching the exhibition at the opposite end of the building," writes Interview's social editor Pavel Vardishvili. - A little later, many people will be ready to sell their souls to attend a dinner for a hundred chosen people at the Metropol Hotel, which the founder of the Jewish Museum, Alexander Beard, is organising in the artist's honour.
