Or should I say Sir Anish? He was knighted in 2013.
Best known (perhaps) for his ArcelorMittalOrbit structure in the Olympic Park.
Winner of the Turner prize in 1991
Very inventive!
Very rich! He made $27 million profit in 2008, taking total revenue from his art to $62.7 million according to Wikipedia
Very productive - lots of stuff!
Very large scale!
Often works with architects and engineers.
His art sometimes alludes to dualities - light/dark, male/female, conscious/unconscious etc
Started using brightly coloured pigment. Moved on to polished stainless steel.

At first glance I disliked his website, above, but it's actually quite a clever way of showing the enormous amount of stuff he's made.
