Description from the seller
Mark Rothko: "No. 3, 1967".
In the edge, in small print, lies the artist's name, title of the work, and copyright.
The work is in excellent condition.
Mark Rothko (1903-1970) was a Russian-born American painter and a central figure of Abstract Expressionism. He is best known as a leading representative of the Color Field movement, in which expansive fields of luminous color were used to evoke deep emotional and spiritual responses.
Rothko sought to go beyond traditional subjects, aiming to create direct encounters between viewer and painting that, in his words, would appeal to the base emotions of humanity: tragedy, ecstasy, downfall.
His artistic journey began with figurative and surrealist influences, but by the late 1940s he had developed his signature style: large-format canvases with softly contoured blocks of color that seem to drift in repose against subtly modulated backgrounds. These contemplative works invited long meditations and were often housed in immersive, chapel-like environments.
Rothko's paintings are among the most valuable works of modern art. Several have sold for over $80 million at auctions, while one privately sold for more than $186 million, reflecting their rarity and cultural significance. Collectors and institutions regard them as masterpieces of 20th-century abstraction.
Never framed and kept in a dark archival storage space between protective acid-free paper. The displayed photos are part of the description; the shown frame (size) is for illustration and is not included.
This artwork is carefully securely packed and shipped in protective acid-free paper.
No shipping possible to the Canary Islands.
