The World’s Blackest Black - The Feud Between Stuart Semple and Anish Kapoor
from Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages · host Kyle Wood
This is a Fun Fact Friday mini-episode about the feud between Anish Kapoor and Stuart Semple. Scientists developed VANTA Black to absorb over 99% of visible light. The vertically aligned carbon nanotube array will trap the light creating a surreal effect like looking into a black hole. Anish Kapoor bought the exclusive right to use VANTA Black for artistic purposes. Stuart Semple doesn't really like Kapoor's monopoly on the material as it blocks other artists from experimenting and innovating. Who ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.
