Mark Rothko was born in Russia and came to the United States
with his family in 1913. A major figure in New York's Abstract
Expressionist movement, he has been the subject of retrospectives
at the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art,
Washington, the Guggenheim Museum, and other major museums around
the world. Miguel Lopez-Remiro is associate director at the
Guggenheim Bilbao Museum.
"Gathering all of the artist's writings held in public
collections as well as texts in Rothko's descendants' hands, this
book brings to light many of his theoretical stances, practical
considerations and personal revelations. . . . This book will
change the way Rothko is understood and should be required reading
for scholars of his era."-Publishers Weekly
"Thanks to this rewarding book, it becomes possible to
appreciate more fully than ever before, what [Rothko] thought his
work as a painter and art educator were about. . . . A highly
insightful look in to the ideas and beliefs that guided his
professional painting career."-Burt Wasserman, Primetime
A&E
