The 'Form III' ring is a limited-edition ring designed by Turner Prize-winning sculptor, Anish Kapoor RA (b.1954), commissioned by the Louisa Guinness Gallery.

Anish Kapoor RA (b.1954) is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of his generation. Kapoor has been creating reflective sculptures for over twenty years, exploring their potential in various scales, shapes, colours and sites. The series includes some of his best-known pieces of public art, such as the immense Sky Mirror in New York, and Cloud Gate in Chicago. The 'Form III' ring's concave reflective centre, traditionally where the gemstone should be, is an extension of this oeuvre. Kapoor says of his jewellery, "It is a way of making small objects that are like sculpture on the body."

Lots 36-42 are from a Private Collection of Artist Jewellery.
