I’m lucky to live in Ottawa, Ontario, home of Canada’s National Art Gallery.

In 1989 the newly opened Art Gallery purchased a work by abstract painter Barnett Newman titled,“Voice of Fire”. 

Originally created as a commission for Expo 67, a celebration of Canada’s centennial, the painting is 18 feet long and consists of three equal-sized vertical stripes. The two outer stripes are blue, and the stripe down the middle is red.

The museum paid almost $2 million for "Voice of Fire".
