Who is Anish Kapoor though? Amanda shares some of Anish Kapoor’s most well-known works that you might recognize or have come across while traveling. Learn where Anish Kapoor received his education and some awards and recognitions that he has received. Amanda, Lillian, and Amus also discuss his creation duplicating one of his most well-known works in a different location and what controversies it caused. 

The three get into Anish Kapoor versus Stewart Semple and the details of the Vantablack controversy. Would it have made a difference if Anish Kapoor actually made the pigment himself? Did Stewart Semple go too far on social media? Who is really in the wrong? Is this whole debate actually worth giving Anish Kapoor the title of “problematic contemporary artist”?

Amanda, Lillian, and Amus discuss and recommend some non-problematic artists that they like and why you should support and be inspired by these other artists instead of Anish Kapoor.
