This book has sculptural characteristics, due to its concept and heavy weight. The 200 pages of the book correspond to the total surface of Barnett Newman’s painting ‘Who is Afraid of Yellow, Red and Blue I’ (1966), oil paint on canvas measuring 190 x 122 cm. It includes the exact ratio of the three colors of the painting. When you hold this book in your hands, you have the entire surface of the canvas in your hands.
