MARK ROTHKO - ADAM GREENHALGH GEBUNDEN

A revelatory exploration of Mark Rothko’s paintings on paper that transforms our understanding
of a preeminent twentieth-century artist      “[A] superb catalogue.”—Charles Giuliano 
Berkshire Fine Arts      Mark Rothko (1903–1970) is renowned for his towering abstract
paintings on canvas  joy  despair  ecstasy  and tragedy are among the themes that he sought to
express in his luminous works. Despite Rothko’s prominence  few people know that he also
created more than 1 000 paintings on paper over the course of his career. The artist viewed
these not as preliminary studies but as finished paintings in their own right.     These
remarkable paintings range from early figurative subjects and surrealist works to the
soft-edged rectangular fields  often realized at monumental scale  for which Rothko is best
known. These works challenge our expectations about how painting is defined  as well as popular
ideas about Rothko and his career. In this beautifully illustrated volume  Adam Greenhalgh
traces the role these works played in the artist’s reception  reputation  and success.     This
book accompanies the first major exhibition dedicated to Rothko’s works on paper in forty years
and brings together nearly one hundred radiant  rarely displayed examples. Building on the
important research conducted by Greenhalgh and his team for the catalogue raisonné of Rothko’s
works on paper  this important catalogue offers a new appreciation of an underrecognized facet
of the artist’s practice.     Exhibition Schedule:      National Gallery of Art  Washington
