The Artist’s Palette: The Rare, the Precious, the Poisonous, and the Fugitive

Hear some of the fascinating stories behind the pigments artists have used through the ages, from Tyrian Purple, beloved by the ancient Phoenicians and requiring 10,000 sea snails to produce a single gram of pigment, to Vanta Black, the blackest black ever created (or is it?). During our stroll over the rainbow with Roy G. Biv, you’ll also have a chance to see artworks that utilize each of the featured colors.
