Kapoor&#8217;s most\u00a0recognizable work is likely his iconic installation in Chicago, &#8220;Cloud Gate&#8221; (For those who do not know it by title&#8230; it&#8217;s the big chrome bean). \u00a0His large metal &#8220;vagina&#8221; stands roughly ten meters tall, weighs thousands of tons and is covered in rust; I&#8217;m sure you can understand why tourists visiting one of the most beautiful gardens in the world would find it &#8220;dirty&#8221; and &#8220;gross&#8221;. The sculpture is part of an effort to introduce contemporary art to the historic grounds and as was pointed out, &#8220;any controversy will just bring more visitors.&#8221; Nevertheless, critics seem to be objecting to the work from all ends&#8230; Whether it&#8217;s the &#8220;unremarkable execution&#8221; or the simple fact that there is a large, rusty-metal, black hole-like looking &#8220;vagina&#8221; in the garden, no one seems to be\u00a0in favor of it&#8230; I certainly wouldn&#8217;t want to be around a vagina that looked like that!
