«Arte» is the theatrical comedy by Yasmina Reza, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (104 pages, in Spanish).
The play presents the conflict that erupts between Sergio, Marcos and Iván when Sergio buys a modern painting for a large sum and his friends' reaction calls into question the foundations of their friendship. Through their dialogues, the text reflects on taste, the value of art and how others' expectations condition one's own identity, in a comedy of misunderstandings and mix-ups.
It belongs to the Compactos collection (no. 708) from Anagrama. Translation by Josep Maria Flotats. The original title of the work is «Art».
For readers of contemporary theatre and comedies focused on dialogue and relationships between characters.
