  • Artist Bans Anish Kapoor from Using 'Most Glittery Glitter' | artnet Nes

    to summarize:
    •Anish Kapoor gets exclusive rights to use Vantablack, the world’s “blackest black” pigment, which understandably upsets a lot of artists
    •Stuart Semple responds by creating Pink, the world’s “pinkest pink” pigment, which he makes legally available to everyone except for Anish Kapoor
    •Kapoor somehow gets ahold of Pink and posts an Instagram photo of his middle finger dunked in the pigment that Semple had banned him from using
    •Semple gets ahold of Vantablack and posts an Instagram video of his hand making the peace sign with his fingers coated in Vantablack
    •During this time, Semple also releases Diamond Dust, the “most glittery glitter,” again available to everyone EXCEPT Anish Kapoor

    The best thing about Diamond Dust is that it’s made from actual shards of glass so Anish can’t just stick his middle finger in it again

    This petty art feud is actually starting to look like it could be one of the most important pieces of performance art of the 21st century

    Updates since this article was published: 

    • Semple finds out who gave Kapoor the pink
    • Semple tweets about being “back in the lab” and “fighting the void with the rainbow”, with a picture of green pigment
    • Semple posts pictures of both green and yellow pigments on Instagram
    • The creator of Vantablack comments on the Instagram video of Semple’s fingers coated in it saying that couldn’t actually be Vantablack
    • Semple apparently proves it to the creator’s satisfaction by adding clips of it being applied to his Snapchat story

    What a time to be an art historian and alive
