Generally speaking: Black means it's public and/or you can buy a ticket. Red means you need an invitation, a VIP pass, a press pass, an Exhibitor's pass, and sometimes two or three of those. Or you need to know the publicist or host.

Last chance to see the Rosa de la Cruz collection, with her husband, at their home/museum in Key Biscayne. She keeps a strict list of art lovers, and gives many of the tours herself. Count yourself as very lucky if you are invited. And those pieces of paper in the front? Yes, you are supposed to take one. It's a "stack" piece by Felix Gonzales-Torres. Here is a German scholar on what another Gonzales-Torres piece means in a German museum. "Every visitor to the museum is free to take a piece of paper home with them as a souvenir, and any distinction between public and private sphere is thus undermined, as is also the traditional concept of the solidity of a sculpture, or the issue of its ownership. The matter of ownership is regulated by a certificate listing all the instructions and parameters for the manufacture of the sheets of paper." Torres himself says that the piece represents the body, "which is in a constant state of leaving." So now you won't be the only one there who doesn't understand that piece of art. By invitation only.
