The Blue That Upended the Art World

The Blue That Upended the Art World

Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair tells the stories of two highly prized colors that are linked to specific places in the world: an exquisite, extremely expensive blue that crossed the globe and upended the European art world… and a shade of purple that possibly wouldn’t have ever come to exist in a different place and time.

Learn more about color history in Kassia’s book, The Secret Lives of Color
