Stuart Semple and the rest of the art world were not thrilled to see Anish Kapoor, the original artist of the Bea- I'm sorry, Cloud Gate, when he acquired the right to Vantablack, the darkest shade of black every invented. We were very excited to learn of this invention mostly because scientists spent a lot of time mixing this and that to get that shade, despite the risks it poses.
