Sky Mirror by Anish Kapoor
• nearly 6m in diameter
• weighs nearly 10 tonnes
• set in 900 sq. m granite paving from South Africa and Zimbabwe cut and finished in Germany and installed by specialists from Portugal
• The stainless steel for the sculpture is from Sweden and Sky Mirror was manufactured in Finland through a process of cold forging. It was then taken to Wellingborough in the UK for final polishing to create the highly reflective surface.
