This is fascist America': Anish Kapoor may sue after border agents pose by his sculpture
"Abducting street vendors, breaking doors, pulling people from cars, using teargas on residential streets, he said about the agents, who were reportedly celebrating after military style immigration enforcement raids. I mean, this is fascist America and just beyond belief. There have been reports that more than 1,000 people have been arrested by the federal agents since the crackdown began in September."
"The Southbank show, which will take up the entirety of the Hayward Gallery and feature around 40 works, is a different beast. Opening on 16 June 2026 and running until 18 October, visitors will be confronted by Kapoor's usual mix of large-scale, colossal works that use vibrant pigment and Vantablack, the most intense black paint in existence. At the Hayward, he will unveil two new pieces: the first is an inflated PVC membrane."
Anish Kapoor received an image of U.S. border patrol agents posing in front of Cloud Gate and described the scene as 'fascist America.' The agents were reportedly celebrating after military-style immigration enforcement raids, and reports indicate more than 1,000 arrests since the crackdown began in September. Kapoor said he will pursue legal options, noting prior litigation against the NRA over use of Cloud Gate imagery and a 2018 settlement. Kapoor opened a show of early works at the Jewish Museum in New York and plans a Hayward Gallery exhibition from 16 June to 18 October 2026 featuring around 40 large-scale works, two new pieces, vibrant pigments and Vantablack, and an inflated PVC membrane occupying the first gallery.
