For those who haven't heard of him before, Kapoor did the Bean in Chicago.

Just bear with me here.

Wouldn't it be funny if people only knew him as the guy famously slammed for getting a monopoly on Vantablack? If at all.

Apart from a wonky bit of space frame crap the black colour foolishness is in fact all I know about him.

Apparently he has done tons of work. His website is a straight list of image links left to right and up & down.

Anish Kapoor is not happy that people are calling it the bean. Cloudgate is the official name.

Ah, so you mean the official name is “the bean”?

The Amish grow lots of beans, and I doubt they like nanotubes.

Most people will remember Anish Kapoor as the bean guy
