"A beautiful Rothko does to the eyes what beautiful food does to the tastebuds." - The Guardian

First printed in 1987 in conjunction with a major exhibition by the Tate Gallery of London, this revised edition of "Mark Rothko" is the definitive catalog examining the work of one of the most influential abstract artist of the twentieth century.

Here are over 90 full-color plates spanning nearly forty years of Rothko's life and art. Accompanying these extraordinary works are fascinating and revealing contributions by those best qualified for commentary, including essays from distinguished professors Irving Sandler and Robert Rosenblum: staff members of the Rothko Foundation, Bonnie Clearwater and Dana Cranmer: leading critics David Sylvester and Robert Goldwater: and, most importantly, from Rothko himself.

A Selected bibliography is included to make this book an essential for any lover of Rothko's art.
