Art at the DTC

I went and saw Art this past Thursday.  It is a 3 man performance now playing at the DTC on Wilmington’s waterfront.

It was a pretty damn good play.  The actors are amazing.  Apparently the play recieved a Tony in 1998 when it was on Broadway.  Alan Alda was one of the actors at the time.  Essentially the play is about a guy that buys a piece of art for an absurd amount of money.  It is the typical arguement in my opinion.  If someone paid a lot of money for a painting that makes it art, or the word thrown out in the play a masterpiece? 

If you haven’t seen it do so it will enlighten you I think.  Personally, I wasn’t so sure it was three men as much as it was the possibility it was a single person arguing with his own conscious in order to justify his own purchase and lack of knowledge about art.
