Kapoor posted in his Instagram-account picture, depicting a jar of pink pigment purchased online samples, and the middle finger, smeared with this paint.


Stuart Semple sells "THE WORLD'S PINKEST PINK" and "the World’s Most Glittery Glitter" on its website. He argues that the composition of its pink paint is unique and makes it the brightest of its kind and that his diamond dust production transparent by 99.8 percent and reflects light better than other peers.


By making a purchase, the customer has to confirm that he is "not by Anish Kapoor, has nothing to do with Anish Kapoor, and make all that glitter is not fell into the hands of Anish Kapoor."


This behavior is caused by Kapoor acquisition of exclusive rights to use the works of art ended Vantablack, which is considered the black pigment in the world.
