Cloud Gate was the first modern-dance company to be established in Taiwan.

In 2005, Cloud Gate attracted some controversy when a professional photographer without a paid permit was denied access to the piece.

"Cloud Gate" had better not weather anytime soon; the artist said his contract required him to design a sculpture that would last 1,000 years.

The roof of the Park Grill, upon which Cloud Gate sits, had to be strong enough to bear the weight.

Cloud Gate has become a popular piece of public art, and is now a fixture on many souvenirs such as postcards, sweatshirts and posters.

On both occasions, as one of the park's primary attractions, Cloud Gate was the focus of controversy.

Cloud Gate is described as a transformative, iconic work.

Cloud Gate is considered Kapoor's most ambitious use of complex mirrored form dynamics.

Following the success of the Company, he founded the Cloud Gate 2 in 1999.

Cloud Gate thrilled the Taiwan cultural scene when it came into being in the 1970s with an unbroken series of innovative dances and dance directions.
