My favorite color is white, but an article caught my eye about the quality of gray, in this case about using gray's as opposed to white as back ground exhibiting art. That contrast inherent in white can overpower or manipulate the way we take in the color of the art. Most artists do not create work against primarily white backdrops (at least not the studios I've visited). Does art get perceived differently as its placed on white walls? Or make lessor art any better? Thinking about nature here in the northwest during periods of gray make a compelling argument. It strikes me, that more galleries do not work more with gray, myself included, but that will change having read that piece.
