So fun fact: the artist who made the bean and gets mad when you call it the bean, is also the guy who has exclusive rights to use vantablack for art. AND he stole the pink that was specifically and exclusively Not For Him.
The vantablack thing is a bit complicated because while it’s utterly ridiculous he’s the only artist allowed to use the substance (and is an utter prick about it, which is honestly the larger issue).
It has to be a somewhat controlled substance because it’s ridiculously carcinogenic, obviously that doesn’t mean you can’t sell it to other people it just has to be dolled out carefully and with instruction.
The pink is amazing though, I saw some in a museum once and it honestly looks like it’s lit up, cameras absolutely do not capture it. It just looks normal on cameras. It’s worth going and having a look if you ever have the opportunity.
Is it truely art if you can’t put it in your ass?
Anything’s a dlido if you’re brave enough.
Bean
No it’s cloud gate
No it’s a friggin bean
If not bean then why bean shaped

Where museum with unphotographable pink color?
You can just buy the pink yourself from Stuart Semple for fifteen bucks.
Why are you telling me that? I already knew that.
Like the Golden Turd in Tokyo
It’s the defining line between art for the rich to laundry money and actual art
