Reply to comment by MajorFogTime in ARTnews review: Anish Kapoor’s Manhattan Mini-Bean Is an Eyesore That No One Asked For by HeyNiceSweater

>not surprised artists are mad at him.

I am. Vantablack isnt a simple paint, it's legit carbon nanotubes and its highly toxic before application - to my knowledge that prevents it from being exported out of the UK, at least the last time I checked, and as much as I don't like Kapoor, he *is* UK based

There is a guy that makes a blacker black than Varnta black, called “Black 3.0”

It’s like .001% darker, and he refuses to sell it to Anish Kapoor, so that’s also fun.
