NGA Members can take advantage of a special ticket offer to see Anish Kapoor at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, the first major exhibition in Australia by this celebrated artist.

Kapoor has created some of the world’s most ambitious and recognisable contemporary artworks. In this selection of key works across two floors of the MCA, you can encounter Kapoor’s powerful artworks up close and in-depth. Highlights include the monumental 24-ton Memory (2008) which completely fills one of the MCA’s spacious galleries as if squeezed between the white walls; My Red Homeland (2003), an enormous circular sculpture with a large motorised steel blade slowly cutting a course through 25 tons of red wax, dissecting and re-shaping it into new forms.

Explore how Kapoor uses colour, form, size and medium to challenge perception, creating beautiful, powerful and intriguing works with a wide variety of materials that counter conventional ideas of art.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see these impressive works by one of the world’s leading artists, in Sydney for a limited time.
