Art, translated from the French by Christopher Hampton, premiered at the prestigious Schaubuhne in Berlin. The play deals with men's friendship, honesty, the obsession with modernism and social status. It revolves around a white-on-white painting which Serge, a dermatologist, has bought for 200,000 francs. This so irritates Marc that his contempt threatens their long-time friendship. Yvan, the third character in the play, vacillates, distracted by his own premarital mess. At issue, in part, is the famous question: "What is art ?" The white canvas pushes at the limits of the definition in the age-old debate.
