Art by Yasmina Reza

Capital Repertory Theatre - 'Art' is a French language play by Yasmina Reza, translated into English by Christopher Hampton and opened in London's West End in 1994.
The comedy, which raises questions about art and friendship, concerns three long-time friends, Serge, Marc, and Yvan. 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.
