Close-up image of Tall tree and the eye, a sculpture by Anish Kapur, on permanent display outside the Guggenheim Museun, Bilbao, Spain. This dazzling sculpture is made up of eighty spheres around three axes. Multiple images are reflected on its glassy surfaces. They stretch up, a stream of gleaming glassy bubble. Each sphere simultaneously reflects itself, its neighbours and all the components that make up the tower. We see our own repeated reflection and that of the architecture that surrounds us. The angle of the images changes as our gaze moves up the sculpture. Kapoor, who won the Turner Prize in 1991, has become one of the world's most highly-regarded creators of public art since 2002 when his red, trumpet-like work Marsyas, dominated the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall.
