Mark Rothko:
Mark Rothko, born in 1903 in Dvinsk (now Latvia) and died in 1970 in New York, was an influential American painter and one of the leading figures of Abstract Expressionism. Rothko is especially known for his large-scale color field paintings, characterized by rectangular color areas applied in luminous, often subtly graded hues. His works aim to evoke deep emotional and spiritual experiences by immersing the viewer in an intense, meditative mood.
Rothko's development towards the iconic color field paintings was influenced by various art movements, including the works of Henri Matisse and Paul Klee. Matisse's masterful use of color, as seen in 'The Dance' (1910), inspired Rothko to explore the power of color as an independent means of expression. Klee, whose works possess a deep symbolic and often spiritual dimension, also influenced Rothko in his search for a universal, abstract visual language that goes beyond mere representation.
Connections to his contemporaries in Abstract Expressionism, such as Barnett Newman and Clyfford Still, are also central to understanding Rothko's work. Newman, with his 'zip' paintings, and Still, with his monumental, textured color fields, shared Rothko's interest in creating artworks that challenge the viewer not only aesthetically but also emotionally and spiritually. Rothko's 'Multiforms' from the late 1940s mark the transition from his earlier surrealist-influenced works to the famous color fields, which reach their peak in paintings like 'No. 61 (Rust and Blue)' (1953).
Rothko saw his art as a means of conveying existential questions and universal human emotions, linking him with artists like Wassily Kandinsky, who also believed in the spiritual power of abstract art. Kandinsky's work, especially his book 'Concerning the Spiritual in Art' (1911), had a profound influence on Rothko's understanding of art as a form of spiritual expression. While Kandinsky worked with abstract shapes and colors to represent music and emotions, Rothko focused on layering colors to achieve similar psychological and spiritual depths.
Mark Rothko remains a central figure in modern art, whose work has impressively expanded the possibilities of abstract painting.

Seller's Story
We have been operating several online shops in the art trade for over 20 years. On the one hand, we specialize in rare art prints, exhibition posters and collectible reproductions, and on the other hand, we trade in art editions and originals by well-known contemporary artists.
The works we offer all come from the respective publishers, art galleries and institutions such as museums that published them in close cooperation with the artists. The works you find with us are often several decades old, in perfect or good condition and without a previous private owner.
We place particular emphasis on professional packaging. Nothing is more annoying than purchasing a rare print that arrives damaged due to poor or inadequate packaging.
If you have any questions about the works on offer, we are always happy to help you!
