THIS contemporary comedy takes a scathing look at the bounds and bonds of male friendship. When Serge buys a piece of modern art for an outrageous sum, Marc finds himself driven mad by his friend's unfathomable act-and poor Yvan just hopes to keep them from tearing each other apart. One of the great plays of the last decade—an award winner in Paris, London, and New York—Art is a play that confronts the perplexing questions of friendship and taste.

Art tells the story of a man who buys a work of modern art for a staggering sum and the impact that his decision has on his friendships.
