Anish Kapoor, the person who is greedy enough to purchase and restrict the usage of vanta black?
Seems like an artist that likes to take and not to give...

I think this is overly simplistic, ignores the artist’s talent and contribution to culture, and is rather nonsensical when most were discussing a poster print that was contributed by the artist to a charity.

Just read up about this vanta black thing though, very funny:

There's a Kickstarter that I've just backed for a VantaBlack type thing - even that references Anish Kapoor

I agree on the simplistic point. It was actually the effect expected :-)

However I am those who links the artist personnality and his art. So it matters to me and I see his art through this lense.

Thank you for the heads up. I can’t see them there either, though. Looks like they’ve gone again.

Not yet, but looking forward to seeing what it looks like close up. Only went for the 2D cheapo one in lucite, because it's more of a curio than something I'll have on display. Will probably end up on my desk with a bunch of other crap

"With the generous support of Anish Kapoor, Richard Wentworth, Cornelia Parker, Giles Deacon, Emma Talbot and Unskilled Worker, we are raising funds for our Art School project: a series of digital art workshops for patients in mental health units in NHS hospitals across the UK.
This is a time where we are all gaining some understanding of how it feels to have our freedoms restricted and how important it is to create an environment that helps us sustain our mental health. Surround yourselves with fantastic and affordable artwork while also supporting those affected by severe mental health conditions.
Each artist’s work will be released every Thursday at 12pm from 21st May. Friends of the charity will receive a special password to purchase the posters four hours in advance of them going live to the public. You can sign up to Hospital Rooms Friend Scheme from £8.50 per month at hospital-rooms.com/support.

The next poster will go on general sale at 12:00 GMT on Thursday 28 May."

This is whats showing up for me now, wasn't showing up 20 minutes ago when I last checked. Looks like its gone?

I decided to get one...

Looks like the Richard Wentworth is still available if interested.

I'd set myself a reminder that this one was coming on sale today and just bought one. Thought it was a good reminder of the times we are going through now without it feeling too 'dated' in a few years time. Thought about getting the Hirst but wasn't really feeling it so I'm glad to have got this.

[Dibbs 45]

This one is signed as well. I didn't get as there's just too many rainbows

My Anish Kapoor poster just arrived. Very well packaged and the quality is great. Proper heavy paper - doesn't look or feel like a poster at all. Hope everyone else's arrive safely soon.

Has it got writing on the front? Numbered on the back?

[cocos]

Spot on, Gunny. No writing at all on the front. Titled and numbered on the back. Will look fantastic framed.

Great news, just found out my comfirmation email for dispatch on my junk folder. I completed forgot that I order this 😊 Cant wait for delivery

[Gunny]

Mine just arrived, top quality and a bargain! Heavy paper, almost like card, numbered, titled etc on the back.

[startimeash]

Picked up the Rachel Howard more by luck than judgement when that was released - like the look of the Emma Talbot that's being released tomorrow too. Gutted to miss out on Anish Kapoor!

[pellets]

Lovely quality print. I was expecting the name and edition size to be on the bottom so was a nice surprise that its on the back!

So what are we thinking re: framing?

[tally]

I’m thinking of selling mine if anyone’s interested.
I just splayed out on a bloody Phyllida Barlow print and I’m BROKE

[Argiebaji]

If anyone has a spare AK poster ed100. feel free to be in touch.

UK person pref.

[Ruggs]

I’ve managed to get one (I think), but also have a friend looking to buy a Kapoor poster. If you have it in hand and want to sell PM me.

[tally]

I have one left if anyone’s still interested. Taking serious offers.
Shipping early July. ☺️
