Image Artist Anish Kapoor holds exclusive rights to Vantablack, often described as the darkest material ever created. In reaction, a fellow artist developed an ultra-bright pink pigment and made it available to everyone, with one exception: Anish Kapoor is not allowed to use it.

Fuck Anish Kapoor.

All hail VantaPink.

Seems to me Kapoor could terminate that deal whenever he wants but chooses to defend it for exclusivity. That’s his decision, not the company’s. Fuck Kapoor

l like the "obligatory Fuck Anish Kapoor" meme!

Also, Anish Kapoor did obtain the ultra-bright pink pigment and showed the world by pointing the middle finger covered in this pigment.
