From antiquity to the modern era, from art and literature to religion and politics, red has been a color of cultural significance. Neolithic hunter–gatherers associated red with magic and life, and placed red ochre on the graves of their dead. In China, red signifies good fortune and prosperity. In the West, it is associated with passion, lust, and love. “Seeing Red: Renoir to Warhol” investigates the many manifestations of the color in 100 works by over 70 artists, among them Salvador Dalí, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, David Hockney, Jeff Koons, and Vivienne Westwood. The red-infused works on display range from Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s Tête de jeune fille to Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup I: Chicken Noodle Soup. —Paulina Prosnitz
