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 paintings that, in his words, “appealed to the basic emotions of mankind: tragedy, ecstasy, downfall.”

His artistic journey began with figurative and surrealist influences, but by the late 1940s he had developed his characteristic style: large-scale canvases with soft-edged color fields that seemingly drift against subtly modulated backgrounds. These meditative works invited prolonged contemplation and were often placed in immersive, chapel-like environments.

Rothko's paintings are among the most valuable works of modern art. Several have sold for more than 80 million dollars at auctions, with one work in a private sale fetching more than 186 million dollars, reflecting their rarity and cultural significance. Collectors and institutions regard them as masterworks of 20th-century abstraction.
