The artist Anish Kapoor is considering taking legal action after border patrol agents posed for a photo in front of his Cloud Gate sculpture in Chicago, saying the scene represented “fascist America”.He is a famously fragile little snowflake, buut this nonsense is off the scale!
“Abducting street vendors, breaking doors, pulling people from cars, using teargas on residential streets,” he said about the agents, who were reportedly celebrating after “military style” immigration enforcement raids.
“I mean, this is fascist America and just beyond belief.” There have been reports that more than 1,000 people have been arrested by the federal agents since the crackdown began in September. When asked if he was considering legal options, Kapoor said: “Of course, I’m going to do everything I can.”
And having tried crying and stamping his feet without effect, it's time for the lawyers! Though even in the famously litigious US, they may struggle with this one...
Kapoor took legal action against the National Rifle Association (NRA) after they used an image of Cloud Gate, which was installed in 2006 and is known locally as “the Bean”, in an advert. He settled out of court with the NRA in 2018. “It’s a bit more complicated with this,” Kapoor said of the more recent incident, “because they’re a full, if you like, national army unit.”
And because they simply took a photo and didn't use it for commercial purposes, you complete spanner!
Perhapd the answer is to remove the sculpture so people you don't approve of can't take pictures of it? How'd that suit?
