The artwork is a striking modern sculpture located in front of the iconic Casino de Monte-Carlo in Monaco. The artwork is a large, reflective sphere that stands in a fountain and reflects the surroundings, including the casino and the square in front of it. The artwork is known as the “Sky Mirror”, created by the famous British artist Anish Kapoor.

Anish Kapoor is known for his large-scale, reflective sculptures that distort the environment and play with light and perspective. The “Sky Mirror” is a beautiful example of his work and creates an almost surreal experience for viewers. The artwork offers a visual interaction between the historic architecture of the casino and the modern design, perfectly capturing the luxurious and futuristic atmosphere of Monaco.

The sculpture has both an aesthetic and a symbolic role, enhancing the grandeur of the location and inviting visitors to reflect, both literally and figuratively, on their surroundings.

At the heart of the Carré d’Or is the Sky Mirror sculpture, which can be found in the roundabout of Place du Casino. It consists of a concave mirror in polished stainless steel with a diameter of 2.5 metres. It is a truly simple and unique piece that adds a subtle touch of modern art to the area, its mirrored surface turning the world upside down, reflecting the ever-changing environment. The artist is the British Anish Kapoor, who began working with the highly reflective surface of polished steel in 1995. This sculpture was donated to Monaco by Madame Lily Safra and Prince Albert II decided to exhibit the piece in one of the most symbolic settings in the entire Principality.
