Description from the seller

Mark Rothko: “Untitled (Yellow-Red and Blue)”.

Condition: the work is in excellent condition.
Format: 80 x 60 cm.

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, with the aim of creating direct encounters between viewer and paintings that, in his words, “addressed the basic emotions of man: 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 soft-edged color fields that seem to drift in repose against subtly modulated backgrounds. These meditative works invited prolonged contemplation and were often installed in immersive, chapel-like environments.

The paintings of Rothko 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 masterpieces of twentieth-century abstraction.

Never framed and kept in a dark archival storage between protective acid-free paper.
