This luxurious and comprehensive volume offers an insightful look into the work of Mark Rothko (1903–1970), a key figure in Abstract Expressionism and a pioneer of the New York School. With over 275 illustrations, it spans from his early figurative and surrealist works to his monumental color field paintings and his later black and gray toned pieces. It includes fold-outs dedicated to works from the Rothko Chapel in Houston and the Rothko Room at the Phillips Collection in Washington. Written by his children Kate Rothko Prizel and Christopher Rothko, the book combines intimate knowledge and historical rigor to offer a balanced portrait of the artist and his legacy, enriched with reflections by Alexander Nemerov and Hiroshi Sugimoto.
