Description
The Rothko Chapel: An Oasis for Reflection This large-format volume offers an intimate look at the world-renowned Rothko Chapel, a sacred space dedicated to global human rights, art, and spirituality. Founded in 1971 by Dominique and John de Menil, the chapel is home to 14 monumental modernist paintings by Mark Rothko. Photographic testimony and scholarly insights come together in this book, exploring the spiritual side of the chapel and its architecture within the context of Houston's landscape. The reworked campus enhances the visitor experience, while the reinstalled skylight reveals the nuances of Rothko's powerful panels. Through stillness or movement, visitors can connect with the outdoors as conditions shift, making the Chapel a unique sanctuary for solace and inspiration.
