«Art» is the play by Yasmina Reza, published by Magnard in paperback (128 pages, in French).
Three friends, Serge, Marc and Yvan, see their friendship waver when Serge buys an expensive white painting. Marc considers it absurd and does not hesitate to say so, while Yvan tries to mediate. The discussion about art, taste and money becomes a verbal duel that confronts the three characters and exposes their insecurities.
The edition includes the complete text in the Classiques & Contemporains collection, with an introduction and notes by Jocelyne Hubert. The play premiered in Paris in 1994. This Magnard edition is from 2002.
School edition aimed at lycée and lycée professionnel students studying the work in French class.
