The controversial installation by Anish Kapoor, which was recently unveiled at the Chateau de Versailles, has been vandalised with yellow spray paint on Wednesday, Le Figaro reports. Titled Dirty Corner, the work was soon renamed ‘The Queen’s Vagina’, after the British Indian artist compared his sculpture to a women’s womb, causing a strong reaction from the local community. The sculpture is now being cleaned.
In his interview with the French newspaper, Kapoor deplored the increasing intolerance observed in the country, which, he says, reaches beyond art and into the political realm.
