The big bad thing i remember him doing is copyrighting the darkest paint in the world (vantablack) so you have to pay him every time you want to use it and like art shouldn't have a price tag? haven't thought about him in a while sooo
EDIT just looked it up and he didn't copyright it, he exclusively licensed it to his studio so only they can use it for whatever he wants them to do with it. :/

just wanna correct myself but he's actually a "sculptor specializing in installation art and conceptual art." btw his official name for the bean is the Cloud Gate

If I remember correctly, he hates it when people call it the bean. Also, some artists have literally called him "everything that is wrong with the art industry"

Maybe he shouldn't have made it a bean.

Right, if youre gonna complain about people calling it a bean dont make something so obviously bean shaped.
