‘This is fascist America’: Anish Kapoor may sue after border agents pose by his sculpture

Artist Anish Kapoor is contemplating legal action after U.S. border patrol agents posed for a photo in front of his Cloud Gate sculpture in Chicago. Kapoor described the incident as emblematic of 'fascist America' and criticized the 'military style' raids occurring in the U.S., which he finds 'beyond belief.' This incident has drawn attention to the intersection of art and political commentary, especially as Kapoor prepares for an upcoming exhibition at the Southbank Centre’s Hayward Gallery next year. The situation raises questions about the role of public art in political discourse and the implications of using such art as a backdrop for controversial actions.
