Joseph Kosuth called this color “Wittgenstein’s” and claimed that it “can’t be described” in two works featuring text of this color. Josef Albers’s assertion of this color’s difficulty led to a series consisting of this color overlaid on grounds of newspaper and patterned fabrics by Robert Rauschenberg. A massive painting described as a “metaphysical thing” that primarily features this color and several white “zips” is entitled Vir Heroicus Sublimis. This is the first color named in Barnett Newman’s series asking “Who’s Afraid?” This color and white dominate opposite halves of 32 paintings of objects with peeled and torn labels such as “Vegetable Beef.” For 10 points, name this primary color depicted in Andy Warhol’s paintings of Campbell’s Soup Cans. ■END■
