HELMUT LANG @ SPERONE WESTWATER GALLERY

Helmut Lang at Sperone Westwater Gallery; Art made from the remains of his archives

Not just a pie filling or a mistaken relative of celery (it's not even a close cousin!), rhubarb is a color with distinct character. Somewhere between burgundy and rust, rhubarb effortlessly exemplifies the compromise between fall and the holiday season. As the upcoming shopping frenzy ensues with collaboration debuts and Black Friday insanity, give your traditional holiday garb a lift and reach for rhubarb!
