This is the Rothko owned by my alma mater. I've always thought it was one of his most stunning works:

I've been researching and reading up on Rothko for a long time.
My one item on my bucket list is to see the Rothko Room in The Tate, London. An ultimate dream would be to visit the Rothko Chapel but that involves flying so...that might not happen.
Youtube has been great for lectures and interviews.

Here is one I think might be appreciated by Urbanites who like Rothko's life and work.

if you do ever make it to Houston, the Rothko Chapel is wonderful. It's on the campus of the Menial Collection, which is one of my favourite galleries in the world (I used to live 10 minute's walk away).

I once had a surreal and slightly drunken conversation with Christophe de Menil about her childhood disliking art

That must have been interesting

I doubt I will ever get to see the Rothko Chapel..let alone go to the US.

Latest update on the Seagram Murals Aladdin ...
Back in the UK...
Five of them will go on display at Tate St Ives, Cornwall from 25th May until January 2025
The remaining four Rothko's will be returning to London with the possible plans for them to be put on show...

From Paris to Cornwall: Mark Rothko’s Seagram Murals are going on show at Tate St Ives

The artist’s visit to the UK seaside town prompted him to pull out of the original commission that would have seen the works housed in a New York restaurant
