AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

- Mark Rothko (after), authorized offset on heavyweight smooth satin paper (250gsm approx.).

- Copyright Christopher Rothko & Kate Rothko Prizel.

- Stamp on verso.

- Size: 70 x 70cm.

- Condition: Excellent. Never framed, never exposed.

-Mark Rothko was a Latvian-born American painter and one of the central figures of Abstract Expressionism, particularly associated with the “Color Field” movement. His art sought to evoke deep emotional and spiritual experiences through the use of large-scale canvases filled with luminous, floating rectangles of color. Rothko believed that color, stripped of form and subject, could express the most profound human emotions tragedy, ecstasy, and transcendence.

By the 1950s, Rothko had fully developed his signature style: rectangular fields of intense, hovering color layered with delicate transitions and soft edges that seem to pulse with light. These works were meant to be experienced up close, where the viewer becomes immersed in the emotional atmosphere of the painting.

His work Untitled (1958) exemplifies this mature period. In it, Rothko juxtaposes deep browns, ochres, and blacks that bleed softly into one another, creating a meditative tension between warmth and darkness. The subtle layering and diffused contours invite introspection and evoke a sense of quiet solemnity. The composition reflects Rothko’s shift toward a more somber palette in the late 1950s, anticipating the darker, more contemplative works of his final years.

Rothko’s works are among the most highly valued in modern art. His large color-field paintings have set record prices at international auctions Orange, Red, Yellow (1961) sold for nearly $87 million in 2012, one of the highest sums ever achieved for a postwar artwork. Collectors and museums prize his works not only for their historical significance but for their unmatched emotional power and meditative depth.

Today, Rothko remains a cornerstone of modern art history, and Untitled (1958) stands as a testament to his belief that color and light alone could express the full range of human experience.
