Concerning three long-time friends, Serge, Marc, and Yvan, this dramatic comedy raises questions about art and friendship. Serge, indulging his penchant for modern art, buys a large, expensive, completely white painting. Marc is horrified, and their relationship suffers considerable strain as a result of their differing opinions about what constitutes "art". Yvan, caught in the middle of the conflict, tries to please and mollify both of them. ‘Art’ is the winner of the 1998 Tony and New York Drama Critic’s Circle Awards for Best Play, as well as the Laurence Olivier, Molière, and Evening Standard Awards for Best Comedy.
