Book - Mark Rothko : Paintings on Paper

• A revelatory exploration of Mark Rothko’s works on paper that transforms our understanding of a preeminent twentieth-century artist.
• Mark Rothko (1903–1970) is known for his monumental abstract paintings on canvas; joy, despair, ecstasy, and tragedy are among the themes he sought to express in his luminous works. Despite Rothko’s fame, few know that he also created over 1,000 works on paper during 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 devoted to Rothko’s works on paper in forty years, bringing together nearly one hundred radiant and rarely seen examples.
• Drawing on extensive research conducted by Greenhalgh and his team for Rothko’s catalogue raisonné of works on paper, this important publication offers a new appreciation for a lesser-known aspect of the artist’s practice.
