Anish Kapoor to design Europe's tallest sculpture

A spiralling 400-foot sculpture designed by the Turner prize-winning artist Anish Kapoor is set to win the competition fora monument to mark the 2012 Olympic games.
The mayor of London is planning the pounds 15 million artwork, which he hopes could become a popular tourist attraction. The sculpture, to be built in the Olympic park, is to be funded by steel baron Lakshmi Mittal. The symmetric steel structure is understood to resemble a cluster of interlocking fractured rings.
It is two-thirds the height of the Gherkin skyscraper in London , six times taller than the "Angel of North" and twice as high as Mark Wallinger's pounds 2 million white horse. The sculpture will incorporate lifts for visitors & offer sweeping views over London. A restaurant is also planned. It uses all the latest technology.
