Sky Mirror

Sky Mirror stands in front of the Casino de Monte-Carlo on Monaco’s Place du Casino. Anish Kapoor’s public sculpture takes the form of a polished, concave stainless-steel disc, set among gardens, fountains and historic architecture.

Created in 1999, the surface reflects the casino, fountain and sky with a clear, inverted image. Changing light, weather and movement continually alter the view, while your own reflection joins the surrounding square.

The Sky Mirror series began with a work commissioned by Nottingham Playhouse and includes versions in cities such as New York, Porto and Singapore. Here, the memorable detail is simple: the sky seems to lie at your feet while the casino turns upside down.
