The exhibition by Indian-built-in Kapoor, all-time known for the Orbit at the Olympic Park created for the London 2022 Olympics, includes major works in mirror and rock and carved marble pieces.

The artist said Houghton Hall, congenital in the 1720s for Prime number Minister Robert Walpole, was an ideal setting.

"Without a doubt Houghton Hall is one of the great monuments in a way ... of this country, so to be showing works in it, in the grounds here is marvellous," he said.

"Information technology as well has, I think, very clear formality – the house addresses a long vista in a fairly long tradition of completely clear arrangement. Sculpture does actually work actually well in relation to that."
