I’m very happy this afternoon after receiving an email response from none other than David Batchelor. I emailed him only a few days ago about my dissertation, asking his opinion and if he had come across anything relating to the subject during his personal research, or any of his publications (namely Chromophobia and the Whitechapel anthology Colour- Documents of Contemporary Art). Not only was his email helpful, he actually seemed interested in the idea, and asked me to let him know if I “come across anything really good”.
He mentioned how he has noticed that few texts and essays deal with individual colours, and said “There should of course be a book on pink, and I think so far only black, white, blue and mauve have received that treatment”. I may be silly in beginning to feel that my ideas have validation- they aren’t simply the whims of someone (slightly) obsessed with pink!!
