Pink Madder [ripped label]k 

Curator: Here we have "Pink Madder," an intriguing pigment manufactured by James Newman. Editor: The color and glass have an interesting muted quality; it looks almost dreamlike. Curator: Pink Madder was historically significant; a common colorant, its availability shaped artistic production. Editor: The composition, with the color swatch beside the jar, creates an interesting visual dialogue. Curator: Its presence in collections signifies changing attitudes towards artistic materials and their place in the artistic ecosystem. Editor: I agree; it's a surprisingly moving arrangement of color and form.
