one dislike on this video.... i see you anish

My favorite sculptor is probably Louise Bourgeois and mostly her soft sculptures, I love a good soft sculpture

I’m so glad you made this video I tell people this story any time I get the chance to talk about The Bean which is,,, frequently enough, living in Chicago lmao

I call it the Bean sculpture and love that he hates it 🌸

Thank you for the explanation. I just saw a youtube short about how Anish Kooper tried to get exclusive rights to vantablack (and succeeded I suppose) and a comment mentioned the whole drama with Stuart Semple and I just HAD to see what it is all about

Honestly, even if stuart semple isn't really that popular but it does makes me laugh a LOT. that he did this just to be kinda petty Also! i normally don't comment but i like ur videos a lot, i have learned a lot from you :D

One day I am going to smear "black 3.0" on one of his works. It will be marvelous.

This was very informative and entertaining!! Keep up the great content!! I love it !! ❤❤❤❤

Hi I'm a year late but my favorite sculpture is a tie between Winged Victory of Samothrace, the first piece I saw as a teenager that made me fully stop in my tracks, or the Condensation Cube because I think it's beautiful to create something that is a literal interpretation of art changing in response to the person viewing it

not my opinion! just saying what was said~ most iconic line of the video

This is amazing

I’m from Illinois and am always caught off guard when I hear the Beans actual name 😂

OMG love this and your presenting style 😍😂🥰 go off!! 💅🏻

Love your show❤️❤️❤️

You’re too good 👏🏾. Thanks for this.

Hello I just discovered your page in the pursuit of art history and black artist. This video was the most dangerous costing me £210 at Culture Hustle shopping 😍 Thank you for the content and your expertise! Is that your art in your background? It’s a very nice setting Thanks again!

So great explain! You are great!

stuart semple... praise be!

wow I love drama! more please

Thank you for doing what you do

Every time I watch your videos, I wonder about the art on the wall behind you. Have you ever done a video on it?

Such juicy drama!!!

this one was real fun lol I live for drama 😆

This is so funny and interesting thanks so much for this video!! I knew a little about Anish kapoor but this was great

What I find funny is that Anish Kapoor is one of the most successful artist alive, but unless you're an art scholar you almost certainly first heard his name in the context of Vantablack. Before you saw any of his art or knew anything else about him you thought "Fuck Anish Kapoor."

He doesn't really own the color. It's not a real color. He owns the technology on how it's made.

You are more engaging than an art professor ❤👏🏽

While I've heard the story before you tell it way better. Keep spilling the tea.

Is this where the line "The Rickest Rick" comes from in Rick and Morty?

I didn’t even know the bean was by this dude lol

When I heard about Anish Kapoor I thought he was some young artist that get his popularity hit his head. But turns out he is 70 year old man that didn't chill out like normal people do. Gatekeeping others from using vantablack is quintessential boomer move

Have you heard about Rebecca Horn, a German artist?

Imma vandalize the Bean.

Judging by the price of 15ml of the mirror paint I think he makes a little profit 🙂 I can't afford a bottle 😂

Anise Kapoor.

I just realized that I am at my brokest broke and I also have the exclusive rights to it 😂

The irony is Anish Kapoor's childishness helped Stuart Semple's carrier.

I made out with the pink and it is the pinkest pink in the world

the teeeaaaaa

Great story! Although your understanding of the NRA is not accurate. Still…loved all the tea and loved all the bean stories.

Artists do this all the time . Which world are people living in ?

I love a lot of his work in the flesh. It doesn’t stop him coming across as an entitled, charmless manchild, though - it’s just thankfully less relevant when the work has a presence of its own.

How someone "a supposed artist" could buy the rights to an art material and not let any other creative person use it is beyond my thought process. It's like every color ever invented has an original artist behind it. To think if every color pigment was copyrighted by the original user. We would gave zero colors to put on our pallettes. So u have this guy buy exclusive rights and no other artist can use this material to create with. We only get to see what Mr. Greedy wants to do with it. At least let other artist use it to see what they might do with it. Like I said if every creative person that came up with a new pigment or technique copyrighted it and no other artist could create with it the world would be a narrow viewed place. It's all greed and a limiting move in the art world where so many great artist give away secrets in hopes to seeing what other artist can do with thier technique or material. We could buy Black 3.0, but that doesn't limit how greedy this guy is. Imagine the first person to use a lead pencil or white pigments copyrighting thier materials....that's the most damaging thing I see with this whole saga.

That's some Metallica level crap with the vanta black

He one of the biggest scamming for profit artist out there. What he did for chicago cloudgate just makes me hate him more. He lied about the cost of building it then claimed all commerical rights on a paid public sculpture.

You are so cute ❤️

I don’t like Anish but I like that he sued the nra.

You are messy 🤣

Anish Kapoor seems like a Karen!!

I hate pink.

I greatly disrespect stuart semple & believe his contributions to the art community has been a net negative. He has no right to call Anish Kapoor his arch nemesis, he's accomplished absolutely nothing in comparison, this fake feud he made because he couldn't use the toxic death material is the only notable thing in his legacy. I don't care about his gimmicky art materials, especially if their success is built on the back of meme-ifying and trivializing the work of another artist. Also cloud gate doesn't resemble a bean if you look at it from literally any angle besides directly from the side of the arch, it's too wide.

Artists are so overrated, AI is coming for ya while you fight for colors that you don't even know how to use
