I have no idea about the blackest-black story, but the Millennium Park sculpture thing doesn’t seem quite as clear-cut that Kapoor is evil.
Your link links back to this article, which in turn had an update a few days later:
The real reason for the city’s shakedown is that the city has exclusive licensing rights for selling images of Millennium Park.
Apparently, the city does not want to endure competition from entrepreneurs who may go and photograph Millennium Park enhancements and place the images on postcards, t-shirts, etc… Some use of public space, huh?
So @doctorow it doesn’t look like Kapoor was behind the banning of photography there.
