Kapoor
Kapoor is cool, but Klimt is cooler.
This is an interesting matchup. I feel like how I feel about each artist on average is about the same, with Kapoor having higher variance. I think I'll swing Kapoor for the higher highs over Klimt for consistency.
I like metal, and I like geometry. But I still have to say Klimt.
Klimt! Klimt! Klimt!
Klimt for me.
There are two FB votes for Klimt.

Klimt wins the round, collecting nine votes against Kapoor's three. He'll be facing Banksy in the Third Round.
