Another Great Masterpiece By The Internationally Recognised Artist Anish Kapoor
This was the second sculpture completed by Hightex for the artist Anish Kapoor. Four metre diameter steel rings withstand a horizontal stress of 20,000kN to each end of this 15 metre long structure.
This impressive sculpture was presented by the privately owned Galleria Minini in Brescia, Italy. The show of the sculpture was a present by the gallery to the city.
Another application where Hightex’s position as a world leader in creating tensile structures and fabric architecture in tensioned membranes such as PTFE, PVC, and ETFE is realised.
