Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Buen estado. 1987. Mark Rothko (1903-1970) was one of a small group of great artists who helped establish New York as the dominant centre of world art in the 1950s, where he was one of the leading artists of the American-led Abstract Expressionist movementRothko's work was considered controversial in his elimination of line, leaving only colour to convey content. He remarked that he was no colourist and that to think so was to misunderstand his art, yet colour was his sole medium. At his death in 1970 Rothko left an immense store of paintings which became the subject of a celebrated lawsuit that brought the artist, his work and associates into the public eye.

This landmark exhibition was cut short following damage to visitors and the exhibits from 'over-zealous' climbing. This is one of a few catalogues that were marked up with a note on the front blank fly-leaf asking visitors to refrain from climbing the exhibits, done by Morris as one of a number of fruitless tactics to avoid closure after just 4 days. The exhibition was very successfully re-staged in 2009 in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall with exhibits made from safer and more robust materials .

Condition - the plastic cover tends to bubble. A fault uniform in all copies (& apparent in all 9 copies of issue 2 exhibited in Tate Modern Hamilton retrospective, 2014).

Each rubber stamped neatly on colophon page "Michael Farr (Design Integration) 97 Jerymn Street London " (a prestigious London design company). Slight wear to issue 1 cover. General minor handling. Copies are prone to curling of covers due to plastic overlay, but being housed in a homemade cardboard slipcase these copies are better than usual. Minor rubbing to colophon pages (from inside flap printed image). Very difficult to find a set in this kind of condition. VG++/ near fine.
