Coming Up Pink

As one who loves the color pink, it's more often association with what is tacky (flamingo yard ornaments, Elvis's Cadillac) rather than the sublime can be a bit disheartening.  So it was pretty great to see the art cast against petal pink walls to stunning effect at two of my favorite exhibitions this past winter.
