For seemingly no reason!

I do have a backup I don't post on and foolishly, if this blog is deleted, I will resume there.

Mark Rothko, Untitled, 1948 oil on canvas 45 x33 5/8" © 1998 Kate Rothko Prizel & Christopher Rothko/Artists Rights Society (ARS), 

Displayed at Pace Gallery exhibition 1/12-2/10/90

This is only the second scan I have seen of this and the first one is very much redder, but I have not seen it in person to say what's more accurate. In my experience, the pace gallery, if this was even taken by then, tends to take darker shots of the paintings then a lot of other places do. There was an old pace gallery book where I would swear that everything was just much darker than it actually appeared in life, but looking at the new Louis Vuitton, showing in Paris, some of those old pace gallery scans are more accurate than I thought.

Most of this has to do with the lighting, photographers choose, sometimes this lighting is forced on them by the type of lighting a gallery has. At one time, this kind of big color shift would surprise me, but now I see it all the time.

How are you doing? I hope good^^ I still love all this work you put in, and I hope the big database project thrives! I actually wanted to ask something related to that: Do you know if there is a place where you can buy Rothko prints online? I'd love something for my office space... Thanks for your help! Have a good day~

McGaw Graphics is the legal place that does it. Pretty much everything else is not legal and I can't recommend them. I am sure there are good non-legit prints but I just have no way of knowing.

Museums with also have posters from retrospectives they have done. Some of those can be nice, so if you have a local ,museum that has a Rothko or two you might try there as well.

Thanks for your kind words and for writing.

what is it about Rothko (with the intention of uncovering some deep, inaccessible part of my being through your answer)

It's hard to write about art. It becomes a lot of assembling and dismantling adjectives, storing anecdotes and often, because of why you're writing about it, some gentle coercion to get someone to like something that you do. It's a genuine impulse but a hapless task.

I love lots of artists and Rothko is one. However, I never intended to get so involved in him, I just thought he was the right artist for a once a day mediation. Rothko is an ecumenical painter. He wants everyone to look. He names nothing in his paintings. He offers no intellectual distractions or influences. He literally would not have it any other way. Few artists invite that kind of scrutiny and come back swinging, but Rothko measures up pretty well.

I went to the works on paper show a few times. The group on display were punchy as hell. They looked just painted. It didn't look like paper, it hardly looked like paint. It reminded me that I look at Rothko paintings every single day and I still find them full of new things to excite me. Maybe I'm a sucker.

I imagine every one of us wishes we could show our favorite things and magically have them fall on everyone like love, but I don't think anything is for everyone. Like Proust, I do recommend that everyone tries a little Rothko now and then to see if you have lined up with it. In Rothko one thing hides another. And the other can be an endless sea.
