Description
Mark Rothko Paintings on Paper offers a fresh perspective on the renowned artist's work. Despite his prominent paintings on canvas, few people know about the over 1,000 finished paintings on paper he created throughout his career. These remarkable works range from early figurative subjects to soft-edged rectangular fields, often displayed at monumental scale. This beautifully illustrated volume explores the role of these works in Rothko's reception and reputation, challenging popular ideas about him and his career. The book accompanies a major exhibition dedicated to Rothko's works on paper, featuring nearly one hundred rarely displayed examples.
