'Art' by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton
When Serge buys a white painting for 2 grand, hilarity ensues. A one-act comedy that explores character, fast-paced quips, and the stability of a relationship built upon ‘art.’

A winner of the 1998 Tony Award for Best Play and the 1996 Olivier Award for Best Comedy, ‘Art’ focuses on the concepts of visual art as investment, as status symbol, and, in this case, as just plain dumb. When Serge buys a plain white painting for $200,000 and (regrettably) asks his friends’ opinions on the piece, he sees his friendships unravel. A biting exploration of character, fast-paced quips, and the stability of a relationship built upon ‘art.’
