Cloud Column

Cloud Column is a monumental stainless steel 2006 sculpture by Anish Kapoor, installed outside Glassell School of Art in Houston, Texas, in 2018.

The sculpture was completed in England and transported to its current location, The Brown Foundation, Inc. Plaza, on March 27, 2018.

Some locals have given the artwork the nickname "El Frijol". In Spanish, "frijol" means "bean", which is the English nickname for Kapoor's Chicago sculpture Cloud Gate (2006).

Its dimensions are 351 × 130 × 80 in. (891.5 × 330.2 × 203.2 cm). Kapoor began working on the sculpture in 1998, completing it in 2006.
