Yellow explores what yellow meant to Vincent van Gogh and his contemporaries, and the meaning of the color yellow, even today. People assign meaning to color depending on time, culture, and individuals. The reader gains insights into artists inspired by yellow and learns more about topics such as yellow fashion, pigments, The Yellow Book, color theories, and the use of color in music.
The attractively designed booklet contains numerous illustrations, both of works from the exhibition "Yellow: More Than Van Gogh's Favorite Color," and of contemporary art, including light installations by Olafur Eliasson. Yellow also includes a slipcase with six separate art cards featuring beautiful works from the exhibition and a thought-provoking quote on the back. So it's more than just a book!
