Rothko - Tumblr Posts

Hi, with the idea that there should be a central place from information on Rothko shows and eventually a worldwide database of Rothkos in collections, I've secured a website which is not up yet but will be in progress for a while. This will be daillyrothko.com

In addition, I'd like have a mailing list for occasional Rothko news because my experience is that people don't regularly check websites.

So if you would like to get the occasional email with information on exhibitions or new writing or general news on all things Rothko, shoot me an email address at dailyrothko@gmail.com. Only Rothko related material will be emails, I'm not trying to conquer the world or anything.

I can also help you with general questions here of course but email can be useful for lots reasons. I recently sent out articles form my archive to someone doing a research paper on Rothko, for instance. Also if you don't want to be on the list, maybe save this email in case I go down. Tumblr has been known to just delete people.

In the meantime, if you'd like to donate I am currently hemorrhaging money, but I am sure all of you are too! I loathe asking for anything but I put it out there, hopefully to do more with cataloging and bringing information to people.

Thanks

Mark Rothko, Untitled (Green over Blue), 1956

This is really quite different from all the other Rothko stuff I (and probably most people) have seen and I honestly can’t stop looking at it, the complementary colours here are mesmerising. Which tbf is a quality I would give to much of his work now that I mention it lol.

I do still prefer his later signature work (for many reasons, partly because they’re so distinctive to him and also because it’s amazing to see how much he can do within a pretty simple format). But I love getting this peek behind the curtain into how he came to his eventual style, and seeing some key elements being used as far back as this.

Surely.
