Description from the seller
Mark Rothko: "No. 3, 1967”.
Condition: 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, with the aim of creating direct encounters between viewer and painting that, in his words, addressed "the basic emotions of humanity: tragedy, ecstasy, decline."
His artistic journey began with figurative and surrealist influences, but by the late 1940s he had developed his signature style: large-scale canvases with softly edged color fields that seem to 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 at auction, with one work in a private sale fetching over $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 kept between protective acid-free paper. The displayed photos are part of the description, the displayed list (size) is for illustration and is not attached.
