Stuart Semple changed his name to Anish Kapoor, because only Anish Kapoor has the rights to use Vantablack for artistic purposes.

I think there might also be export restrictions, but I'm not sure.

I love the petty little fight over the blackest black and pinkest pink or whatever that whole drama is. It's hilarious.

>Semple developed a pigment called the "pinkest pink" and specifically made it available to everyone except Anish Kapoor and anyone affiliated with him

Anish seems like a bit of a dick
