In March 2016 the representatives who developed Vantablack, a British company NanoSystem is reported that the sculptor Anish Kapoor has exclusive rights to the use of pigment for artistic purposes.

This fact has aroused the just indignation of all concerned in black color artists. Among them is British author Stuart Semple (Stuart Semple). Reply to Kapoor, he decided his own weapon — deprivation of rights for an individual pigment.

Talking about the pink pigment PINK, which Semple developed the last ten years, together with the manufacturers inks. If the black pigment Kapoor almost all light absorbs, the pink pigment Sample it, instead, reflects. It sparkles and glows — kind of the antithesis of the behavior of Anish Kapoor in art-сообществе.

On — more. Sample was allowed to use her new pink pigment all, with one small exception. When buying you should confirm that "are not the Anish Kapoor, is in no way affiliated with Anish Kapoor, do not get the pigment on behalf of Anish Kapoor or assistant Anish Kapoor".
