The "smooth" texture of anish kapoor’s sculpture cloud gate is appealing for viewers to touch.
Cloud Gate was the primary public sculpture of Indian-born and London-based artist Anish Kapoor. His work was chosen out of two recommendations that were submitted in 1999 for a masterpiece form in the new, present day Millennium Park, which was planned to open in 2000.
Bended at each point on its surface, Cloud Gate resembles a unimaginable question, excessively smooth, making it impossible to be man-made and excessively capricious, making it impossible to originate from nature. It scarcely contacts the ground, making a hallucination of uncanny delicacy. The confuse between its outside and inside—the bending external surface apparently maintained by surface strain; within, obviously crumbling into a void—additionally makes a dumbfounding impact, setting interior attachment against a vacuum.
