Question

complete the text with the evidence that best supports the argument. in 2018, sculptor anish kapoor acquired exclusive rights to use vantablack, an extremely black coating, for his artworks. a huge outcry followed, especially from other artists who argued that the exclusive deal interfered with their own freedom to create and innovate with one of the blackest human - made materials in the world. however, as kapoor argued in return, he had legally acquired those rights. and his deal to use vantablack has some historical precedent; not all materials are always available to artists for their use.

other pigments, such as one called mummy brown, have been too expensive or scarce for most artists to access. so, while the artists communitys frustration is understandable, kapoor fairly purchased his rights and deserves to maintain vantablack as a truly singular tool for self - expression.

in fact, some artists have responded to kapoor by creating their own pigments, such as one paint that has been marketed as the worlds pinkest pink.

for example, according to the block museum of art, william blake was credited with the invention of illuminated printing, a new method for printing and illustrating his work, in 1788.

in fact, since the controversy about kapoors use of vantablack arose, an even blacker material was invented by scientists at the massachusetts institute of technology.

for example, in a cnn article about kapoor, journalist hogan c. hils points to the case of yves klein, an artist who received a patent for a specific blue pigment to use in his paintings.

Explanation:

The text argues that Kapoor's exclusive use of Vantablack has historical precedent (not all materials are always available to artists). The example of Yves Klein (a specific blue pigment patent) directly supports the "historical precedent" claim as it shows another artist having exclusive rights over a material (a pigment), similar to Kapoor's case with Vantablack. The other options either focus on artists creating new materials (not historical exclusivity precedent) or on new material inventions (not related to the argument about historical exclusivity of materials for artists).

Answer:

For example, in a CNN article about Kapoor, journalist Hogan C. Hils points to the case of Yves Klein, an artist who received a patent for a specific blue pigment to use in his paintings.
