Anish Kapoor’s reflective steel spheres in the pond beside the Guggenheim.
Anish Kapoor’s Tall Tree & the Eye rises from the Guggenheim’s exterior pond in a stack of reflective steel spheres. The 2009 sculpture has 73 spheres arranged around three axes, reflecting one another as well as the museum, river and nearby bridge.
Move along the surrounding paths to see how the reflections change with your viewpoint. Pair it with the other outdoor works around the museum; the official collection page has an audio guide for a closer look at Kapoor’s ideas.
