I’m a little frustrated that people think Stuart Semple is just putting these colors out because of Anish Kapoor.

Stuart Semple has been working on these pigments for years. He has spent a lot of time and energy creating these pigments + a line of acrylic paints. The popularity of Pink BECAUSE of the Kapoor feud has given him the monetary support necessary to produce the rest of these pigments and the glitter. But he’s been working on them and trying to get them made for a very long time.

Like by all means, continue to support Semple. Continue to get enjoyment/entertainment out of this feud. But give credit where credit is due - Semple spent years working on this, he didn’t churn it out in a week becuase of Kapoor.

That’s actually neat to know, because it kinda did look that way. I appreciate you letting us know!

Of course he’s been working on this stuff for years.  That’s what’s so great about it.  It’s like writing a novel, selling it somewhere, and then, the week before it goes to the printer, changing the dedication page to read “Fuck you, Steve, you know what you did.”
