BlogBack: Now Everyone’s Seeing “Sotheby’s Blue”

CultureGrrl reader W. Douglass Paschall, curator of collections at the Woodmere Art Museum, Philadelphia, responds to Hawking the Auctions: An Irreverent Photo Essay:
“Sotheby’s Blue,” the color the auction house is using for this season, looks remarkably similar to the wall color we used at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts for a show of Francis Criss’ paintings in 2002. Had I known the color was going to be claimed, I’d have cited it in the credits. Hope they’ll understand.
