“Basically Anish Kapoor still has the exclusive rights to the world’s blackest black, he’s still being a big meanie” - an actual direct quote from Stuart Semple, I swear I didn’t make this up
merry christmas, tumblr. on this day, let’s all think about an au where victor nikiforov is an ice skating training robot who’s surprised that he’s capable of love.
Victor: Yakov! Thanks again for being my coach after my break!
Yakov: Ah, Vitya. As long as you’re serious as a figure skater again, of course I’ll–
Victor: BY THE WAY, I’m also still coaching Yuuri, so he’s moving to Russia to train with us! Isn’t that great, Yakov?? Aren’t you happy for us?!? ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
Yakov:
RON SWANSON IS AMERICAN YAKOV AND YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.
Victor is Leslie. Yurio is April.
does that make yuuri ben? is there a katsudon calzone joke i should be making here?
THIS IS ANISH KAPOOR’S INSTAGRAM I AM SCREAMING AT HOW PETTY THIS IS
God
Who’s the narc that gave him the pink
I’m screaming
But the statement is the best:
Kapoor or one of his agents has, it’s worth noting, violated the terms of service put forth on Semple’s website, and Semple isn’t happy. He expressed his deep concern over the situation in an email to artnet News:
We are all extremely disappointed to see that Anish Kapoor has illegally acquired the world’s pinkest pink. He’s walked into this paint war with a gesture that cannot be misconstrued. He’s given the art community a bright pink middle finger. He is still very much at large. Not only has he refused to share the black, he’s now stolen our pink. Rest assured, we will get to the bottom of who has purchased this on Anish Kapoor’s behalf and broken their contractual agreement with culturehustle.com, and we will instruct our lawyers to take appropriate action against such breaches. We are pleased to note that he has not managed to get his hands on the World’s Glitteriest Glitter—yet—and we urge purchasers not to share the product with Kapoor or his associates.
I don’t get it?
Basically this guy, Anish Kapoor, had made a deal with NanoSystem, the people producing Vantablack, or the blackest black paint pigment in the world, so that he would have exclusive rights to use it for art purposes.
This naturally upset a great number of people in the art world, to say the least, as many other people were excited to experiment with using the Vantablack pigment in their art. Therefore, as an act of retaliation, artist Stuart Semple released PINK, the world’s pink pigment under the stipulation that anyone in the world could buy it, except for Anish Kapoor. At the time of purchase, the purchaser has to agree to a legal statement saying that they are not Anish Kapoor and will not willing or knowingly give the pigment to Anish Kapoor.
By this image, it indicates that someone violated that agreement and provided the pigment to Kapoor. Thus why Semple is pursing legal action. I hope this helps clear some things up.
