These stories about the world’s most hated elitist artist Anish Kapoor cover the Bean sculpture in Chicago, the Vantablack controversy, and more. Anish Kapoor is a sculptor who specializes in installation art and conceptual art. Basically he is known for buying the exclusive artistic rights to the world’s blackest black at the time (Vantablack), resulting in widespread controversy and a longstanding feud with artist Stuart Semple. Anyway, this post is a wild and amusing ride, get ready for some crazy art world drama:
