I spotted this post on Remodelista on arranging books by color and I thought, crazy or inspirational. At first, I thought, crazy, as I would NEVER be able to find my books, but, in the hands of an artist, this idea can be beautiful and inspirational.
In late 2004, the artist, Chris Cobb, created a temporary installation piece within Adobe Books, a bookstore in San Francisco.
The piece titled "There is Nothing Wrong in This Whole Wide World" required a team of 16 volunteers and the artist, working overnight, to arrange 20,000 books by color.
Watch and hear the artist during the installation process:

A simple concept that transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary.
