Anish Kapoor is a British-Indian artist and sculptor who has created many works such as the Cloud Gate (which most people just call The Bean, much to Kapoor's chagrin). The reason I don't like him is that he has claimed copyright over a color, Vantablack, the worlds blackest black, which absorbs 99.965% of visible light. He has copyrighted this color, legally forbidding other artists from using it in their works, which I consider to be an act of incredible snobbery.
